In June 2004 the airline announced it was in talks with Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise of St. Petersburg, but as of October 2004 no flights had taken place.

The airport serves as a hub for Rossiya Airlines ( formerly Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise ), and as focus city for Nordavia.

It was slightly bigger in aperture and several metres longer than the new ( 1895 ) 30 inch at Pulkovo observatory in the Russian Empire.

It operated the Pulkovo Airport and was 100 % state owned.

The airline was named after the area where it is located, along with the village of Pulkovo and Pulkovo Observatory.

Matvey Matveyevich Gusev () ( in Vyatka, Russia – in Berlin, Germany ) was a Russian astronomer who worked at Pulkovo Observatory near St. Petersburg from 1850 to 1852 and then at Vilnius Observatory ( which he established at the University of Vilnius ) thereafter.

Using glass blanks made by Chance Brothers of Birmingham and Feil-Mantois of Paris, his firm Alvan Clark & Sons ground lenses for refracting telescopes, including the largest in the world at the time: the at Dearborn Observatory at the Old University of Chicago ( the lens was originally intended for Ole Miss ), the two telescopes at the United States Naval Observatory and McCormick Observatory, the at Pulkovo Observatory ( destroyed in the Siege of Leningrad ; only the lens survives ), the telescope at Lick Observatory ( still third-largest ) and later the at Yerkes Observatory, which remains the largest successful refracting telescope in the world.

It was discovered by Grigoriy N. Neujmin in 1913, and is named after Pulkovo Observatory, near Saint Petersburg.

Together with his father, Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve, Otto Wilhelm von Struve is considered a prominent 19th century astronomer who headed the Pulkovo Observatory between 1862 and 1889 and was a leading member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In 1839, he graduated from the university and moved to the newly opened Pulkovo Observatory, where he was immediately appointed as assistant of the director ( his father ).

This newly developed method was adopted in Russia, and from 1844, the longitude was measured starting not from the Tartu Observatory but from the Pulkovo Observatory.

In 1885, a 30-inch refracting telescope was installed at Pulkovo, at the time the largest in the world ( see great refractor ).

The first refusal, in 1887, disappointed Struve so much that he applied for resignation and was stopped from that only by the Tsar Alexander III, who requested Struve to keep his posts until the 50th anniversary of the Pulkovo Observatory in 1889.

For most of those years, the working language of the Pulkovo Observatory was German, as the staff members were largely foreigners.

The visit served several purposes, including ordering the Alvan Clark & Sons optics for the new 30-inch telescope in Pulkovo, and it was a part of long-term Russia-US astronomy partnership during the 19th century.

After graduation in 1877, he became member of the Pulkovo Observatory and was sent abroad for two-year post-graduate studies.

In 1883, he was appointed adjunct astronomer at Pulkovo Observatory.

By then, the Struve family was highly respected in Russia and Tsar Alexander III had a strong wish for Hermann to succeed his father Otto as the director of the Pulkovo Observatory.

In 1890, Struve was appointed as the senior astronomer at Pulkovo with the clear understanding that he should become director after completing his Saturn work.

In 1885, a 30-inch refracting telescope was installed at Pulkovo, at the time the largest in the world ( see great refractor ).

He could not observe Uranus from Pulkovo because it was too far south.

For his post-graduate research started at the Pulkovo Observatory which was headed by his father.

lunar occultation of the stars during the total lunar eclipse ” that was carried within a collaboration between the Kharkiv and Pulkovo observatories.

In 1906, a set of seismic stations were built with telemetering to the Pulkovo Observatory in Russia.

Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve remained in Dorpat, occupied with research on double stars and geodesy until 1839, when he founded and became director of the new Pulkovo Observatory near St Petersburg.

Also, in 2006, Pulkovo completed its merger with Rossiya.

* On August 22, 2006, Pulkovo Airlines Flight 612, a Tu-154 airliner with 160 passengers and 10 crew on board en route from Anapa to Saint Petersburg, crashed near Donetsk in Ukraine.

Following her time with the force, Fedorova moved to St. Petersburg to study at the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs ( MVD ) University, where she worked as an investigator at the Pulkovo Transport Police whilst studying.

In particular, they compiled famous Pulkovo catalogues of stellar coordinates, including several thousands double stars observed with a 15-inch refractor.

Within that collaboration, many American astronomers stayed at Pulkovo for observations and exchanged data with Russian scientists by mail.

In 1881, Struve obtained his master's degree at the University of Tartu, with the highest honors, and in 1882 defended a PhD thesis at Saint Petersburg University ( Pulkovo had no associated educational institutions ).

Later, however, he became excited with his father's project of building a 30-inch telescope at Pulkovo, with its fantastic new possibilities for observation.

In 1883, Gustav defended his PhD thesis on " Resultate aus den in Pulkowa angestellen Vergleichungen von Procyon mit benachbarten Sternen " ( Results obtained in Pulkovo on relation of Procyon with the neighboring stars ).

He worked at the Pulkovo Observatory when he led the observation of the proper motion of stars with respect to extragalactic nebula.

Throughout its operational history, Perm Airlines offer routes from Perm Bolshoye Savino airport to Moscow Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports, Ekaterinburg, Surgut, Baku, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg ( codeshare flight with St. Petersburg based Pulkovo Airlines ).
