In 1954, with establishment of Belgorod Oblast, the airfield near village of Yachnev Kolodez (nowadays Yachnevo district of Belgorod) was transformed into V-class airport Belgorod. Subsequently, an air unit of 1st air squadron, 170th united air squad from Kursk, consisting of 3 Polikarpov Po-2 aircraft, was dislocated to the new airport. In 1955 it was transformed into Belgorod air squadron of 170th air squad. In 1957, the squadron received airplanes of type Yakovlev Yak-12, and in 1959 - Antonov An-2. In 1968, it was transformed into Belgorod United Air Squad. It started using Kamov Ka-26 helicopters in 1976, Let L-410 turboprops in 1977 and Yakovlev Yak-40 trijets in 1981.[1]
Upon the breakup of the Soviet Union and dissolution of Soviet Aeroflot, in 1994 Belgorod United Air Squad was reorganized into state-owned unitary company “Belgorod State Air Enterprise”, in 2002 into public joint-stock company “Belgorod Air Enterprise”. The flights were performed on Yak-40 aircraft. [2]
In 2005, its own flying division was liquidated,[3] but the company was operating Belgorod International Airport and provided ground services for aircraft that flew there. In 2010, the ownership was transferred from federal government of Russia to government of Belgorod oblast.[4]
In March 2017 OJSC "Belgorod Air Enterprise" was declared bankrupt.[5] In 2018, it was liquidated.[6]
