Business Class

From month to month travel portal WORLD-S publishes to you information about the average age of the aircraft fleet Russian airlines, as well as statistical data on the growth/departure of the aircraft fleet, reasons. What changed in Russian aviation in April 2016 compared to March 2016?

To begin with, we consider highlighting some moments that occurred in global aviation in March and which directly affected us. The most tragic incident occurred on March 19, 2016. While approaching the Rostov-on-Don airport, a Boeing 737-800 of the Middle East carrier (low-cost airline) Dubai Fly, which was flying on a Dubai-Rostov-on-Don flight, crashed. There were 62 people on board (including the flight crew) - no one survived. All aircraft of the air carrier have a maximum service life of 5 years; there is no doubt about timely maintenance. Most likely, pilot fatigue and bad weather conditions could lead to control errors, because low-cost airlines are like taxis in the sky.

On March 20, 2016, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft of the Russian air carrier UTair (flight Moscow-Surgut) made an emergency landing at Moscow airport due to engine problems. The plane circled in the sky above the airport for two hours until it ran out of fuel. No one was injured on board (112 passengers).

On March 28, 2016, a Fokker-100 aircraft of Back Air (flight Kyzylorda - Astana) made an emergency landing at Astana airport. Problems occurred with the release of the front landing gear. The pilots landed the plane on its belly. Fortunately, no one was injured on board (116 passengers). The reason is clear; production of the Fokker 100 has long been discontinued. They are used in aviation by third world countries. The aircraft's service life exceeds 20 years. However, the airline uses 7 aircraft of this type. If we analyze the statistics of incidents with this model, this is not an isolated case when the landing gear release mechanism did not work.

Now let's move on to the good news. Azerbaijan Airlines AZAL launched a new low-cost airline AzalJet in March, ticket prices will start from 49 euros including all taxes and fees.

Now we propose to study the table of statistics on changes in the average age of the fleet and the movement of aircraft in Russian airlines.

TABLE: IN Age of aircraft in Russian airline fleets as of April 12, 2016

The well-known Aeroflot brand has gained popularity due to the quality of service and reliability of air travel throughout Russia and abroad. Every day, airliners take off from airfields, transporting thousands of people to different parts of the planet in a short time.

Many are interested in additional information about the flight fleet of this company, the technical parameters of the aircraft and their internal arrangement. Let's look at what aircraft Aeroflot has and how old they are.

Aeroflot is the flagship of Russian air transportation

Aeroflot - Russian Airlines (PJSC) has been one of the largest Russian air carriers since March 17, 1923. The head office and management of the company are located in Moscow. The main port is Sheremetyevo Airport (Moscow). The company is engaged in passenger and cargo air transportation from Moscow to 51 countries of the world. Aeroflot aircraft operate commercial flights to 135 settlements (of which more than 50 are on the territory of the Russian Federation). Since 2006, Aeroflot has headed the Aeroflot group of companies, which includes Pobeda (low-cost airline), Aurora and Rossiya.

Interesting fact. Many aircraft of Russian airlines are registered in Bermuda and have tail numbers starting with VP. All questions of interest are discussed in the forum on the carrier company’s website https://www.aeroflot.ru/ru-ru.

Aeroflot Flight Park

Aeroflot fleet is among the youngest fleets in Russia and abroad. Among all models, the majority belong to the Sukhoi SuperJet and Airbus brands. This aircraft flies over any distance with high payload capacity and economical fuel consumption. Aeroflot has a fleet of 232 aircraft as of April 1, 2018.

Since 2008, the company has taken into the air 22 airbus airliners for long-distance flights, while the average age of Aeroflot’s aircraft is only 4 years. Since 2013, Aeroflot has renewed its aircraft fleet and in 2018, 16 new Boeings were put into operation, superior in range and carrying capacity to other aircraft.

Aeroflot's fleet in 2018 consists of 38 Boeing 737s for medium-distance flights with several classes of service and high maximum load rates. In 2015, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and Aeroflot, which was renewing its fleet of aircraft on its balance sheet, entered into an agreement to begin using a new brand of aircraft - Sukhoi SuperJet100. Today, Aeroflot's Sukhoi SuperJet100 aircraft are in active use and are represented by 42 units of the model.

All aircraft are distinguished by tail numbers and names.

Interesting! When founded, the company was named Dobrolet; after 1932, the name was changed to the current one.

Until 1991, the carrier operated flights on domestically produced aircraft, but already at the beginning of the 21st century, Aeroflot’s fleet of aircraft was replenished with aircraft from global manufacturers.

Boeings

These aircraft belong to the category of wide-body passenger aircraft. The capacity of the liners ranges from 300 to 550 people. Flights are carried out over distances from 9 thousand km to 17.5 thousand km. All aircraft have been assigned names; the list is on the company website https://www.aeroflot.ru/ru-ru. A lot of information, photos and videos with reviews of these beautiful liners, filming of their flights and internal structure are freely available.

Boeing 777-300ER

The company flies 14 aircraft of this brand. The airliner involves long-distance flights. The dimensions are impressive: the hull length is almost 74 meters, and the wingspan is up to 65 m. The climbable altitude is about 13 km at a speed of 900 km/h. With a maximum load of 317 tons, the aircraft can cover up to 11,000 km (for example, the length of the Vladivostok-Moscow flight is 6.5 thousand km).

The Boeing 777-300ER passenger cabin offers three categories of service for 402 passengers - economy, business and comfort. There are 30 seats in the business class sector, 48 in comfort, and 324 seats in economy.

The newest models - VP-BPG - have been in the fleet for only 8 months, and the old liner VP-BGB has been in the fleet for about 5 years.

Boeing 737-800

The fleet of aircraft and other equipment includes 38 Boeing B737-800 units (Boeing 737-800), of which 17 operate domestic flights within the Russian Federation. These airliners are designed for long- and medium-distance flights. Compared to the Boeing 777, this modification is not so impressive, since the body is only 40 meters and the wingspan is only 35 m. Without passengers and cargo, the aircraft weighs about 41 tons, with a maximum load the weight becomes 79 tons. Due to technical parameters, the aircraft cannot rise above 12.5 thousand meters, but it covers distances of 5.7 thousand km at maximum altitude.

The arrangement of seats in the passenger cabin includes up to 20 seats in business class. The economy sector has 138 seats. A feature of the layout is the absence of 2 portholes in the middle part on each side, which is due to the specifics of the ventilation system. This Boeing model has 4 hatches for emergency evacuation of passengers.

The oldest aircraft of the B737-800 brand (model VP-BRF) has been in service for 4.6 years. The newest aircraft of this modification is the VP-BFB model, which was put into operation on March 1, 2018.

Airbuses

Aeroflot's fleet includes various models of Airbus branded airbuses, including double-deckers. The airliners are very ergonomic and comfortable for long-distance flights, which is why they are in great demand among the population. In total, Aeroflot has 124 Airbuses, of which 32 are A321s, 22 are A330s and 70 are A320s. Each category has its own characteristics, discussed below.

Airbus A330-200 and A330-300

The Airbus A330 is available in two modifications, A330-200 and A330-300. The models are very similar to each other, but there are some differences. In particular, in the 200th model the length of the hull is 58.8 m, and in the 300th it is 63.7 m. There is no difference in the wingspan, the figure is the same and is 60.2 m. The liners rise into the sky for 12 km, but there are significant differences in the range of possible flights. For the A330-200, the maximum is 11.2 thousand km, and for the 300th modification it is only 9.5 thousand km.

The Airbus A330-200 is designed for 207 seats in Economy and 34 in Business Class. The Airbus A330-300 airliner is more spacious, in its economy sector there are 287 seats, and in business class - from 28 seats to 36 at the discretion of the company.

The oldest A330-200 lasts 9.5 years, and the new one - 8.5. In the near future, the company plans to update the flight crew of its airbuses.

Airbus A321-200

The A321-200 model assumes medium-haul flights. The side of this airliner is narrow-body, the body length is 54.5 m, which makes it stand out among similar airbuses. The wingspan is 34 m, which is quite enough for such a large airliner. At maximum load, the weight is 93.5 tons, but this does not affect the speed developed - the Airbus easily reaches 840 km/h.

The cabin layout is standard and includes 2 service classes, traditional economy and business with increased comfort. The economy sector accommodates from 142 to 167 passengers, and the business sector - from 16 to 28 seats. The number of seats may be changed by the company for various reasons. The difference between this model and others in its group lies in the improved internal arrangement. The A321 is equipped with wide luggage compartments, a large cargo compartment and comfortable seats.

The company has 48 aircraft of this brand, the oldest is 9.5 years old.

Airbus A320

Airbus A321-200 - the original model for the A321. The length of the hull is 37 meters, the wingspan is 34 m. With a speed of 840 km/h, the liner easily covers 6.15 thousand km. Maximum load - up to 77 tons.

The passenger compartment is 11 meters long, while the traditional 2 categories are observed - business and economy, differing in the level of comfort. Increased comfort distinguishes the first 8-20 seats near the cockpit, the remaining 120-150 seats are traditional for all aircraft.

Sukhoi Superjet-100

Aeroflot has 43 Sukhoi SuperJet-100 aircraft of the Russian brand “Sukhoi Civil Aircraft”. The airliner can withstand a total takeoff load of up to 50 tons, and the industrial load reaches 12.5 tons. The body length is 30 m, the wingspan is 28 m. This aircraft is designed for short-distance flights, up to 2.5 thousand km at an altitude of no more than 12 km. The number of seats in the cabin is 75 in economy class and 12 in the business sector.

The newest aircraft, Sukhoi SuperJet-100, is only 3 months old (2017), and the Sukhoi SuperJet-100 (RA-89014) served the longest - about 5 years.

Aircraft out of service

Airliners decommissioned are also stored on the company's premises. Airplanes have a large number of flight hours and kilometers, consume too much fuel and cause annoying complaints from passengers due to the discomfort of being in the cabin during the flight.

Ilyushin Il-96

The Ilyushin Il-96 is a presentable large airliner, the flagship of the domestic aircraft industry. The cabin is equipped with 270 seats in economy class and 12 seats in the business sector. The last flight was in 2014, in the spring. They are currently owned by Cubana Airlines since 2014.

Boeing B767-300

The Boeing 767-300 has a two-class cabin; the cabin has 188 Economy category seats and 30 high-comfort seats. Decommissioning took place in 2014, after the Toronto-Moscow flight. The company no longer uses this model for flights.

Interesting! Several Aeroflot aircraft are in storage, keeping their tail numbers. Four aircraft are not used on scheduled and charter flights for technical reasons. These are a SuperJet-100, a Boeing 767-300 and two Airbus A320s.

The average age of Aeroflot aircraft allows us to call the company one of the youngest air carriers in the world, with a flight crew of 100 units and more. Aeroflot's fleet is constantly being updated by Russian and foreign aircraft manufacturers. When flying on aircraft of this company, it is mandatory to follow the rules of conduct on board and the carriage of baggage, which is important for the safety and reliability of flights.

Superjet 100

Russian short-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft with the participation of a number of foreign companies. The certification name of the aircraft family is RRJ (Russian Regional Jet).

When designing the Superjet 100 family of aircraft, all the latest production and design technologies were used, which ensure maximum safety and comfort in flight, as well as optimal flight performance.

Advantages of the aircraft:

• an avionics system that allows landing in difficult weather conditions;
• high level of weight and aerodynamic perfection;
• high fuel efficiency.

Number of aircraft: 8

Bombardier CRJ-200LR

The Canadian CRJ-200 Bombardier Regional Aircraft passenger jet first flew in 1995. This is an improved model of the Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-100 passenger airliner with new economical General Electric CF-34B1 engines.

Advantages of the aircraft:

• its speed is comparable to larger cars, while its efficiency is well within its class;
• reduced fuel consumption and flights at temperatures up to 35 °C allow the air carrier to fly in hot climates;
• Whitcomb washers (tips). The family consists of several modifications, differing in fuselage length and flight range.

ANTONOV / ANTONOV

The airline's aircraft fleet includes 7 AN-24RV passenger aircraft, as well as modifications: 2 AN-26B-100 cargo-passenger aircraft, 2 AN-26 cargo airliners, 3 AN-26B cargo aircraft.

The AN-24 entered service in 1962, when it was necessary to create high-speed gas turbine aircraft for local airlines. The AN-26 has been produced since 1968 and was initially a military transport aircraft. Now it is a cargo carrier, as evidenced by such differences from the AN-24 as a cargo ramp at the rear of the fuselage, a crane beam and other loading equipment. The plane received the nickname “Ugly Duckling” for the characteristic sound of its engines.

AN-26-100 - passenger version of the AN-26. Equipped with 43 passenger seats. It is distinguished by its reliable design, versatility in transportation and ease of maintenance. Thanks to these qualities, over 1,500 thousand aircraft have been exported to more than 50 countries.
