IRS Aero (IATA: LD (later 5R), ICAO: LDF) was a Russian charter airline that was established in 1997.

Closure

Its operating license was revoked in January 2003 because an investigation into an accident that occurred in 2002 revealed violations committed by the airline. These included using Il-18 aircraft for both passenger and cargo transport, even though their airworthiness certificates classified them as cargo planes, and falsification of documents.

Fleet
