History edit
In October 2016, Sky Gates commenced domestic and international services from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport using a leased Boeing 747-400F aircraft.[5]
Sky Gates Airlines suspended all operations on in February 2022 due to sanctions[6][7] with plans to restart services in the foreseeable future.[8]
In March 2022, Azerbaijan-based Silk Way West Airlines took over both of Sky Gates' aircraft.[9] In the same month, the operating certificate of the airline was suspended at its request.[10]
In August 2023, the airline was bought out by Red Wings Airlines, and in December of the same year operations were restarted[11].
