Ceased Operations

Caucasus Airlines (IATA: NS, ICAO: SRJ, callsign CAUCASUS) voluntarily suspended services in 2004, roughly two years after starting operations in November 2002, and never resumed flying. No successor airline is documented as having inherited its routes or brand; details beyond this are limited in available sources.

History

Caucasus Airlines was a small Georgian carrier established in 2001 (having previously operated under the name Silk Route Airways before a legal identity change) that began commercial operations in November 2002, flying a fleet of two Embraer EMB-120 turboprops on domestic Georgian and regional routes.

Current Operations

Caucasus Airlines is no longer operating. The airline imposed a voluntary suspension of services in 2004 and ceased operations after only about two years in the market; it does not appear to have been formally absorbed by another carrier, and Georgia's small-airline sector has since seen multiple other short-lived operators come and go. Information on this airline is sparse and largely limited to secondary aviation-history sources, so some details (exact closure date, final disposition of its aircraft) could not be independently confirmed.
