Price: from 14,000 rubles.

I gave 46,000 a year ago for round-trip tickets, flew as a family, 2 adults and a child, from Novosibirsk to Sochi. In general, pretty good, the flight was not delayed, the cost was adequate, the food was normal and the seats were comfortable, the staff was polite and helped in case of emergency.

The well-deserved sixth place goes to the well-known low-cost airline. It is not distinguished by its quality of service and comfort, but as you understand, it has quite low prices for tickets. The average ticket price is 4000 rubles on the territory of Russia. We can note the constant promotions and various discounts on the company's tickets as a big plus. The company began its activity in 2014 and still carries out the transportation of passengers without fail, by the way, their number amounted to almost four million people in 2017. The main directions are the territory of Russia, partially foreign countries.

Ticket price: from 4000 rubles.

A year later, he flew again from St. Petersburg to Moscow, gave 1500, the difference in price was 8000. In general, a confident low-cost airline, for students or who often fly the very thing.

In 2017, the number of passengers was 6.8 million people, higher than the year before last by 9%. Regarding the cost of tickets above average. Let's say a flight from Moscow to Istanbul will cost you 35,000 rubles one way per adult. But from Moscow to St. Petersburg the cost is only 3000 rubles. The main directions on the territory of Russia are flights from Siberia to the Central region. The fleet of the company has 150 helicopters (the largest helicopter fleet in Russia), and for passenger traffic Boeing 737 (400,500 and 800) and Boeing 767-200.

Deservedly fourth place Ural Airlines , which has been pleasing us since 1993 with its comfort and relatively low prices. According to statistics, last year the turnover of passengers amounted to approximately 7.5 million people - quite a lot. The average cost of a one-way ticket will be about 11,000 rubles per adult. The main directions are the territory of Russia and partially abroad: Thailand and China mainly. A large number of flights fall on Domodedovo and Pulkovo. The Ural Airlines fleet consists of three Airbus models: A319, A320 and A321.

Ticket price: from 11,000 rubles.

In April, I flew with this company from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the ticket cost 8700 rubles one way, taking into account the shortcomings and positive aspects, I will call the company the middle, not the golden one, but the middle.

The subsidiary of Aeroflot gives broad hopes in the future to get ahead of even S7 and become the second in the rating of Russian airlines. The average cost of a flight will cost you 15000 rubles per adult one way and along with this you get excellent service, a full lunch or dinner and, of course, the pleasure of flying. The main flight directions are similar to the main company Aeroflot (see above). In terms of the number of passenger turnover, Russia ranks second, but is inferior to S7 in terms of the quality of service. In general, last year the number of passengers amounted to 11 million people.

Price: from 15,000 rubles.

We ordered a ticket through the Aeroflot website, tickets cost us from London to Moscow (one way) for two 33,000 rubles, bought in a month. Quite comfortable in the planes themselves, the flight was not delayed, the seats are comfortable and the food is quite good. You can pay with miles, some do not have such an opportunity, unfortunately. In general, the flight pleased, we will use again.

S7 Airlines

Company Siberia or S7, which has become a household name due to the familiar green aircraft used by the company to transport passengers. We note the main directions of movement from Eastern and Western Siberia to the Central region, i.e. Novosibirsk>>Moscow, Vladivostok>>St. Petersburg and other domestic and foreign destinations, Irkutsk>>Bangkok, Vladivostok>>Beijing and so on. The average cost of a two-way ticket on the territory of Russia is 18,000 rubles, regarding destinations abroad, the price is relatively inexpensive, 24000 ruble Well, it depends on your wishes and wallet.

The company's fleet is in no way inferior to Aeroflot, because it is equipped with modern models: Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX and many more representatives aircraft. Speaking about the number of passenger turnover per year, we boldly call the figure of 10 million - less than that of the previous participant in our rating, but more than other Russian airlines.

Cost: from 18,000 rubles.

We flew from Irkutsk to Bangkok with this company in winter. The cost was approximately 26,000 per adult per round trip. The flight lasted 6 hours and was provided with comfortable places with nice staff and delicious food. We will fly again.

The first place in the hit parade is occupied by an airline that has been transporting passengers for over 100 years. (since 1923). Aeroflot main destinations: Moscow>>St. Petersburg, Moscow>>Berlin, Moscow>>Sochi, Moscow>>Istanbul and other various destinations from the capital of Russia. Quality and comfort are really the prerogative of the company and a real pleasure for the client. The planes are well equipped, the staff is only professionals, the flight attendants are friendly and welcoming, but you will have to pay at least 20,000 rubles, the average ticket price of this carrier. Regarding the aircraft fleet, it’s also pretty good: Airbus A320, Airbus A330 and so on.

It should be noted that the turnover of passengers is 30 million per year - the highest figure in Russia.

Price: from 18,000 rubles.

Aeroflot flew to the Netherlands, more precisely Amsterdam. In principle, I liked everything, the staff is always ready to help, no funny situations did not occur during the flight. For tickets, as far as I remember, we paid 43,000 for two adults in two directions, that is, Moscow-Amsterdam and back. We have been using Aeroflot services for 4 years and have never regretted our choice.

What is the best airline this year? Aeroflot or Emirates?! Ta-da-m... Cathay Pacific! At the Farnborough Air Show in England, the world's most important Skytrax rating The World Airline Awards announced the results for the current year and the very first prize was taken by the Kateyites, with which I congratulate them!

And here is my article about Cathay Pacific business class -

The annual award of the British consulting agency Skytrax is considered one of the most prestigious in the aviation industry. In 2014, the airline awards were based on a survey of 18.85 million passengers from 160 countries around the world. 245 air carriers applied for awards in different nominations. The evaluation of airline products and service quality was carried out according to 41 criteria.

Of course, all ratings are subjective, but the fact that Asian and Middle Eastern carriers are always in the lead only confirms the thesis about the best service orientation in these regions. Today I want to show the results in different categories and different nominations.


World's Best Airline 2014:

1 Cathay Pacific Airways
2 Qatar Airways
3 Singapore Airlines
4 Emirates
5 Turkish Airlines
6.ANA All Nippon Airways
7 Garuda Indonesia
8 Asiana Airlines
9 Etihad Airways
10 Lufthansa

What is especially pleasing is that Lufthansa, the only one of the purely European airlines, is in the top ten. And so, of course, everyone who is at the top of the rating is about the same, but the leaders need to be shuffled periodically, this is an intrigue :)

The world's best low-cost carrier:

1AirAsia
2 AirAsia X
3 Norwegian
4 Jetstar Airways
5 Indigo
6 easyJets
7 WestJet
8 Virgin America
9 Jetstar Asia
10 Scoot

Expected by AirAsia. The best low-cost, absolutely deserved. I love them, although in March of this year, on the way from Yangon to Kuala Lumpur, during an online booking, I screwed up and forgot to add a piece of luggage for $ 10, as a result I paid 40 at the airport :)

From European only one carrier - Norwegian. I haven't flown with them, but their planes are brand new, the livery is very stylish with harsh Norwegian men on their tails and free (!!!) wi-fi on board. And, yes, there are Dreamliners in the fleet!

Best low-cost first in Europe:

1 Norwegian
2 easyJets
3 Germanwings
4 Niki
5 airBaltic
6 Wizz Air
7 WOW Air
8 Pegasus Airlines
9 Onur Air
10 flyBe

It is not clear why they included Germanwings here. But EasyJet and VizzAir - I approve.
Where's Ryanair?! It's not in the top ten.

Best Airline in Europe:

1 Turkish Airlines
2 Lufthansa
3 swiss
4 british airways
5 Austrian
6 Air France

2 Air Nostrum (Iberia Regional)
3 Vueling Airlines
4 S7 Airlines
5CSA Czech Airlines
6 Luxair
7 Air Malta
8 Adria Airways
9 Cyprus Airways
10 Estonian Air

The Greeks from StarAlliance are in the top, and S7 flashed, although it is absolutely not regional, it is strange that it got here.

The best catering in economy class:

1 Thai Airways
2 Turkish Airlines
3 Asiana Airlines
4 Etihad Airways
5 Cathay Pacific
6 Singapore Airlines
7ANA All Nippon Airways
8 Emirates

Best transatlantic carrier:

1 Lufthansa
2British Airways
3 swiss
4 KLM
5 Air France
6 Virgin Atlantic
7 Iberia

Here you can see that passengers prefer Europeans to Americans on the transatlantic.
But where is my favorite Austrian?!

Best Airline in Eastern Europe:

1 Aeroflot Russian Airlines
2 Transaero Airlines
3 S7 Airlines
4 Croatia Airlines
5CSA Czech Airlines
6 Wizz Air
7 Adria Airways
8 LOT Polish

10 Russia Russian Airlines

But at this angle, Russian airlines emerge somewhere from the depths of the rating.
It's cool that the budget WizzAir did the traditional and the state LOT, but both of them were defeated by the free Gambrinus on board at the Chekhovs :)

The best low-cost Middle East region:

1 flyDubai
2 Air Arabia
3 Jazeera Airways
4 Up
5 Nas Air
6 Flynas

Ha ha, Arab low-cost airlines have completely bypassed the Israeli "little El-Al" - their daughter Up low-cost airline.

Full version here.

Summing up the results of 2017 federal agency air transport published brief statistics of work civil aviation RF. The big picture for participants rating of Russian airlines in 2018 looks favorable. The air transportation market continues to develop, and almost all reliable Russian airlines included in the list showed an increase in the number of passengers and kilometers flown by an average of 15%. At the same time, the weight of the top five airlines continues to grow. If in 2017 they occupied 67.4% of the total volume, then in 2018 it is already 85%.

Opens the rating of the largest airlines in Russia Nordwind Airlines, she is North wind". Over the past year, the number of passengers amounted to 3.5 million people and increased by 95% compared to 2016. Passenger turnover also showed growth, increasing by 44%.

One of the largest charter carriers in Russia, which carried more than 2.2 million passengers in 2017, was called to the carpet at the Federal Air Transport Agency in the summer of 2016 due to constant long flight delays up to several tens of hours. The carrier promised to take action. In case of inability to arrange regular flights to exact time The company faces restrictions on transportation.

Azur Air was a subsidiary by UTair, but two years ago set off on an independent voyage. In 2017, the number of passengers of the company amounted to 3.6 million people, almost 2/3 more than in 2016.

Globus is part of the S7 Group, being a subsidiary of the aviation giant Siberia, which took second place in the ranking of the best airlines. 2017 turned out to be favorable for the company - the number of passengers increased by 20.2%, amounting to 4.1 million people.

The subsidiary of Aeroflot, which took over from Dobrolet, who died as a result of UES sanctions, is positioned as a budget company. Although the first tickets for flights of the new airline were sold only two years ago, it confidently entered the top 10 Russian airlines.

The number of passengers in 2017 amounted to 4.3 million people, an increase of 5% compared to 2016. Despite his youth, the flights of "Victory" have already managed to acquire scandals. Users are dissatisfied with the policy of withholding the real price for the flight, the requirement to pay for the opportunity to sit together with families, flight delays and cases when tickets for a flight are sold more than the number of seats.

Ranked fifth Russian airlines 2018 are " Ural Airlines”, which transported 7.5 million people in 2017, demonstrating an increase of 25%. In the meantime, the company requires the Federal Air Transport Agency to pay for the transportation of WWII veterans to celebrate the anniversary of the Victory in 2015. The Rosaviatsia rejected the application for payment, finding fault with the fact that it does not contain the words “including VAT” and other points of the same degree of importance.

The owner of the world's largest operating helicopter fleet appears to have recovered from the late 2014 crisis. In 2017, the number of passengers carried by this company amounted to 6.8 million people, an increase of 9.1% compared to 2016.

The second subsidiary of the giant Aeroflot, ranked among the top ten Russian airlines in 2018, carried more than 10.6 million people last year, posting an impressive 41.5% growth in passenger numbers, the highest of the participating airlines. At the same time, the passenger turnover increased by 55.3%.

In second place in the ranking of the largest airlines in Russia is Siberia, aka S7 Airlines, which operates flights to 83 destinations both in Russia and abroad. Most of the latter, however, is served by partner airlines. In total, 9.3 million passengers were transported in 2017.

Russians continue to fly with Aeroflot aircraft. In 2017, the company transported more than 30.5 million people, outperforming Siberia, which took second place in the rating, by more than 3 times. No wonder, because Aeroflot is the largest and oldest Russian airline, which has been carrying passengers since 1923. Although the company was included in the black sanctions list of Ukraine, this does not prevent an increase in the number of shipments.

According to such criteria as the number of passengers and passenger turnover, the company recorded an increase of 12% over the past year. By the way, Aeroflot can also be called one of the most safe airlines 2018 in Russia- there has not been a single major plane crash on its lines, counting, of course, subsidiaries and accidents caused by the actions of third parties. In the airline safety rating published in 2017 by the JACDEC auditing company, Aeroflot ranks 37th.
