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 vehicles. Each client can choose an option to their liking for a comfortable flight. It should be noted that this company is known not only in our country, but also far beyond its borders. Much has been written about this enterprise. Easily and simply in the public domain, you can see what Aeroflot is: the aircraft fleet, photos of cars and airports. We will tell you about the history of development and a little about the features of different aircraft models.

general information

Aeroflot is considered one of the largest carriers in the world and the largest in the country. It provides an opportunity to fly anywhere in the world. At the same time, 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. The important thing is that the main block of shares belongs to the country, and this brings huge profits to the state.

The scale in which the enterprise operates is striking. With it, you can fly to forty-two countries of the world on sixty-five fixed routes. The aircraft fleet of Aeroflot cannot but rejoice. The years of production of cars are getting younger, as the management is trying to renew the composition. The average age of the aircraft is 4.3 years.

History of the enterprise

The company was founded in 1923, but then its name was "Dobrolet". Since then, she has gone through many reforms. The name was changed to "Aeroflot" only in 1932, when all the country's civil aviation was called that way.

Since that time, the name has remained the same, given to it by the Air Fleet Directorate. Aeroflot's aircraft fleet also changed. The USSR was distinguished by a strong air fleet, and the company kept its brand at this level. Until 1991, the organization did not undergo any special revisions. After the collapse of the Union, the company was organized into a separate joint-stock company, but the state retained the main block of shares.

Aeroflot: aircraft fleet

Taking into account the information received at the beginning of 2017, the company has 189 liners of various models. The situation was significantly improved by the signing of a contract for the supply of cars, which stipulated the start of the fleet renewal from 2016. And from 2018, the company will receive aircraft 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 model name means "Boeing", "A" - 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 company's profitability. The larger and better the planes, the more reliable and profitable the carrier company. And just what we need when planning an air trip. All Aeroflot models bear the quality mark and are regularly checked by specialists for compliance. Let's consider each of them:

Boeing B777 model. The aircraft is designed for long-distance flights, up to 14,500 kilometers. Able to climb to a height of 13 km. There are "business", "comfort" and "economy" class salons. Number of seats - 365.

The maximum ascent is possible at 12.5 km. The passenger capacity of the aircraft, depending on the type of doors, ranges from 375 to 440. There are cabins of the classes: "economy", "business" and "super-comfort".

As you can see, all models are quite roomy, 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 that management also boasts. So, the company took up the process of changing its image, for which it invited highly qualified specialists. Both the colors of the aircraft and the uniforms of all crews were changed.

But the symbolism of the company in the form of a hammer and sickle remained the same. It was verified that it is precisely by this symbolism that the company is 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 CSKA football clubs and New Jersey Nets basketball for sponsoring events.

Bonus programs

I would also like to mention the bonus programs of the Aeroflot company. The aircraft fleet offers its services to everyone, but there are advantages for regular customers. It is possible to accumulate points for flights. They can be used later to buy 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. There are different levels of the Elite Clients Club: Silver and Gold. And each of them has its own advantages, so Aeroflot customers are happy to use these offers.
