In 2004, UTair gained control of more than 70% of Komiinteravia.Russia/CIS Observer, October 2004, Merge to Fly Another Day UTair planned to set up a new regional division using its subsidiary Komiinteravia that was to operate as UTair Express using Antonov An-24 and ATR 42-300 aircraft. It planned to replace its Komiinteravia's An-24 fleet with additional ATR 42-300 aircraft over the next few years.
UTair Express completed registration in December 2006 and emerged from the reorganization of Komiinteravia. The airline received a certificate in commercial air transport operations on Antonov An-24 aircraft.

UTair Express also embraces Russia's largest Tupolev Tu-134 maintenance center.
