UTair Aviation (MICEX:UTAR; RTS:TMAT) (commonly known as UTair) is an airline based in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia. It operates scheduled domestic and some international passenger services, scheduled helicopter services (e.g. from Surgut) plus extensive charter flights with fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters in support of the oil and gas industry across Western Siberia. UTair is also involved with relief operations for the United Nations. Its main base is at Roschino International Airport (TJM).
History
It was in February 1967 when the Aeroflot Tyumen Directorate was set up in order to meet the transport requirements of the fast-growing oil and gas industry undergoing development in Western Siberia. In the wake of the break-up of the Aeroflot organization, Tyumenaviatrans Aviation (TAT) was formed in 1991 to replace the Aeroflot Tyumen Directorate. TAT adopted the name of UTair in early 2003. The airline is owned by Khanty Mansiysk District administration (23%), Surgut City administration (19%), Russian shareholders and companies (33%), the Russian Federation (2%), and private foreign investors (20%).

Model Review
| | Mould and Assembly: This is, overall, a nice little bird. It really looks like a Tupolev when you look at it. So it seems to have the right proportion. As far as I can see the gears are in te right position (even if I don’t like Herpas idea of not paint the them). The basic grey plastic can be seen as ugly… The wing is connected to the fuselage in the only way it really can be on a Tupolev trijet, and it looks ok. There is really not so much more to say. It looks great.
Livery: The too looks good. Well, it may not the hardest to reproduce, but Herpa pulled it off. The fuselage text seem to be in te correct position and tail logo looks ok. The only letdown it that the light shines through the fin and gives it a toy like look. You can afford one more layer of paint with those high prices…
Details: In contrast to other Herpa models, the detail level on this one is pretty good. There are some surface detail on the fuselage and that is good. And the doors and windows seem to be correctly placed on the fuselage.
