Maybe I'm just pronouncing it wrong, but it sounds like a crappy airline. :p

It has to be an error. A Google search shows that the airline name only appears in the one news story, this thread in FlyerTalk, and a thread in another forum, and both forum threads are quoting the one news story.
Since the airline apparently didn't exist before today, it probably means that some poor copy editor and/or a reporter will be looking for new jobs.

I thought all the airlines I fly on are called Aeroshchit.
Or is that just what we call 'em.
Honey, I'm going to the airport now, I've got to take the Aeroshchit to Schenectady.

It might be a typo, but maybe not. In the Cyrillic alphabet there is a single letter that makes the shch sound so it's not as far fetched as it might seem. Anyway, I'd never fly them, but would simply love to have a picture next to an aircraft with that name on the side. Can you say Xmas card?

The picture is of Aerosvit (IATA:VV - the Ukrainian airline).
The airline in question is Аэрощит-translated as airshield.

Why is no one pouncing on the airline being suspended for a 10,000 ruble debt? That's $380 U.S. for those who are curious . . .

My mom and sis flew AeroSvit JFK-KBP few months ago... they actually used the same term as the OP quoted to describe it.

If they can't afford to pay a $380 fine, I don't think they can afford some of the items I prefer my airline be able to procure (like fuel). The only "aero" to go with that would be in the fuel tanks.

It's not just one news story - the Moscow Times has got it today, & they're usually fairly reliable: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/article/600/42/371708.htm
Also checking it out with a Russian-speaker with a cyrillic keyboard.
