History

The airline was established in 2003 to provide charter flights to destinations in Europe and the Middle East.

Its most probably part of the Privat Group of billionaire Igor Kolomoysky (PrivatBank, Ukraine International Airlines, Dniproavia, insolvent AeroSvit, CimberAir, Donbassaero).

In 2006, regular flights to Moscow and Kaliningrad in Russia were initiated. In 2008 the company expanded its route network, then sharply reduced it. Since 2008, Windrose Airlines has focused on charter flights. From 2010 to the present day, the airline has been licensed to operate regular flights, should the need arise. The airline was the first to carry out flights basing its aircraft at various airports in Ukraine.
