7 Boeing 757-200 were acquired from UTair, but already two of them could no longer be used last winter and were written off.
Aircraft design
The company colors are blue with red and white. Next to the nose is the name of the company itself, and the wings and tail are painted blue and red.
Only one aircraft, namely the Boeing 767-300, has a different design. At the nose is the name of the tour operator - Anex Tour. In the area of the tail, a drawing is made - the sun with a deck chair on the beach, under an umbrella.
All this emphasizes the focus of Azur Air, namely the focus on the transportation of tourists to popular resorts.
