Aeroflot: the company's aircraft fleet

Nowadays a large number of people use the services of Aeroflot. The aircraft fleet of this enterprise has a large selection of machines. Each client can choose an option for the soul for a comfortable flight. It is worth noting that this company is known not only in our country, but also far beyond. Much has been written about this enterprise. It's easy and simple to openly see what Aeroflot is: an aircraft park, photos of cars and airports. We'll tell you about the history of development and a little about the features of different models of aircraft.

general information

Aeroflot is considered to be one of the largest carriers in the world and the largest in the country. It provides an opportunity to fly to anywhere in the world. The service is offered to both passengers and cargo.

The central office of the enterprise is located in the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow. Accordingly, the main airport of the company is Sheremetyevo. It is important that the main share holding belongs to the country, and this brings huge profits to the state.

The scale in which the enterprise operates is striking. With its help, you can fly to forty-two countries around the world on sixty-five permanent routes. Also, the aircraft fleet of Aeroflot can not but rejoice. Years of production of cars are getting younger, as the management is trying to update the staff. The average age of the aircraft is 4.3 years.

Company History

The company was founded in 1923, but then its name was "Dobrolet". Since then, she has experienced many reformation. The name was changed to Aeroflot only in 1932, when the whole civil aviation of the country was called that way.

Since that time, the name remains the old one given to it by the Air Fleet Department. And the aircraft fleet of Aeroflot also changed. The USSR was distinguished by a strong air fleet, and the company held a mark at this level. Until 1991, the organism was not subjected to special processing. After the collapse of the Union, the company was organized into a separate joint-stock company, but the state remained the main stake.

Aeroflot: aircraft fleet

Given the information received at the beginning of 2017, the company has 189 liners of different models. Significantly improved the situation by signing a contract for the supply of Boeing B787 vehicles, in which it was agreed to start the renovation of the park in 2016. And from 2018 the company will receive airplanes of the Airbus A350 model. At the moment the company has the following aircraft models:

• B777 - 15 pieces,
• B737 - 20 pcs.,
• A330 - 22 pcs.,
• A321 - 32 pcs.,
• A320 - 70 pcs.,
• SSJ-100 - 30 pcs.

The letter "B" in the name of the model means "Boeing", "A" - "Airbus", and the abbreviation "SSJ" - "Sukhoi Superjet". To understand the difference between these models, you need to tell a little about each of them separately.

A little about airplanes

It should be noted that the aircraft fleet of airlines is an indicator of the profitability of the enterprise. The more and better the aircraft, the more reliable and more profitable the carrier company. And reliability is exactly what we need when planning an air trip. All models of Aeroflot have a quality mark and are regularly checked by experts for compliance. Let's consider each of them:

• The "Boeing V777" model. The aircraft is designed for long-distance flights, up to 14500 kilometers. It is able to climb to a height of 13 km. There are salons of "business", "comfort" and "economy" class. The number of seats is 365.
• The "Boeing B737" model. The machine is designed for mid-range flights, up to 4,500 kilometers. It can take off to a height of 12.5 km. It is possible to fly "business class" or "economy class". The maximum number of seats is 189.
• Model "Dry SuperJet SSJ100". It is designed for short flights within the region, no more than 2400 kilometers. The height of the possible flight is 12 km. The aircraft also has a salon "business" and "economy" class. The maximum number of passengers is 98.
• Model Airbus A330. This is a plane designed for long flights. Depending on the species, it can fly for a distance of 12,300 kilometers (model A330-200) and 10,500 kilometers (model A330-300). The maximum lift is possible by 12.5 km. The passenger capacity of the aircraft, depending on the type of door, ranges from 375 to 440. There are classrooms: economy, business and super-comfort.
• Model Airbus A320. The car is designed for flights of up to 5500 kilometers. The flight height can reach 11.7 km. 140-180 seats are divided into three classes: "economy", "business" and "super-comfort." The number of seats depends on the modification of the model aircraft.
• The model "Airbus A321". Used for close flights, not more than 5000 kilometers. The possible altitude of the flight is 11.8 km. The number of passengers carried varies from 170 to 220 people, depending on the design. Also there are salons of class "economy", "business" and "super-comfort".

As you can see, all the models are capacious enough, but each is designed for its own type of flight.

New in the management of Aeroflot

The aircraft fleet of this enterprise is not the only pride. There are many new developments in management, which also can boast leadership. So, the company took up the process of changing the image, for which she invited highly qualified specialists. It was replaced both by the color scale of the aircraft, and by the uniform of all the crews.

But the symbolism of the company in the form of a sickle and a hammer remained the same. It was checked that it is on this symbolism that the company will be recognized by its customers among other competitors.

In addition to modernizing the park, the company became a member of the SkyTeam alliance, and also signed a contract with the clubs "CSKA" for football and with New Jersey Nets for basketball for sponsorship events.

Bonus programs

Separately, I would like to mention the bonus programs of Aeroflot. The aircraft fleet offers its services to all comers, but for regular customers there are advantages. There is an opportunity to accumulate points for flights. They can be used later to purchase a ticket, improve the class of service and much more.

All the possibilities of regular customers can be found at the airport or the main office of the company. Different levels are offered in the club of elite clients: silver and gold. And each of them has its advantages, so Aeroflot customers enjoy using these offers with pleasure.
