Originally established as Astair Airlines in 1998, the company underwent a rebranding to Interavia Airlines on 18 May 2005 and began regular flights out of Moscow in July of the same year. It operated as a publicly held entity without any government stake.
Due to financial challenges, the carrier ceased its services on 9 October 2008 and shortly thereafter lost its license to operate. The airline's fleet was mainly composed of Yakovlev Yak-42 aircraft.
