Concern Komiavia, later GAP Komiavia or Komiavia State Air Enterprise (Russian: Комиавиа) is a now-defunct Russian airline. This concern was founded in 1991 by O. G. Chernov. In 1991 Komiavia operated more than 320 airplanes and helicopters, including Mil Mi-8Ts, Mil Mi-10Ks and a number of civil airplanes. It existed up to August 1992. In December 1994 GAP Komiavia was founded by Chernov (December 1994 - February 1997, Chief Director). Komiavia faded with the rise of UTair Aviation. In April 1997 the Joint-stock company Komiinteravia was founded on the basis of Komiavia by M. V. Kutuzov.
