Semeyavia O.A. (Russian: Семейавиа, sometimes also transcribed Semeiavia)^[3] was an airline based in Semey, Kazakhstan, operating scheduled domestic flights between its home base at Semey Airport and Almaty International Airport. Ceased operations in July 2013.^[4]

Fleet

As Semeyavia is on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union due to safety concerns arising from its ageing fleet of Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft, the company decided to renew its fleet with Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft,^[5] the first of which (formerly having belonged to now-defunct Athens Airways) was delivered in December 2010.^[6] Thus, the Semeyavia fleet currently consists of the following aircraft:

**Semeyavia fleet**
Aircraft	In Fleet	Orders	Passengers

Yakovlev Yak-40	2^[5]	0	30

Incidents

On 19 February 1997, a Semeyavia Yakovlev Yak-40 (aircraft registration UN-87233) overshot the runway upon landing at Semey Airport following a scheduled domestic passenger flight. There were no fatalities amongst the 14 passengers and 4 crew members on board, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.^[2]
