Ural airlines airline fleet. Airline Ural Airlines fleet age of aircraft. Technical parameters A321

The first new aircraft appeared in the fleet of Ural Airlines.

For the first time in its recent history, Ural Airlines bought a new aircraft. Just brand new, never flown before.

Today, the Airbus 321, which was released in 2016, was solemnly presented in Koltsovo. The board is made in a single-class layout and is designed to carry 215 passengers.

It is equipped with sharklet wingtips that improve aerodynamic performance and improve fuel efficiency.

– The unique wing design improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and, as a result, reduces fuel consumption by up to 4%. In addition, the new wingtips contribute to an increase in flight range and improved takeoff performance. Sharklets are made of composite materials, their height is 2.4 meters, and in shape they resemble shark fins, Ural Airlines described the design features.

Note that this Airbus is the 12th aircraft of the A321 type in the fleet of Ural Airlines. In 2017, the airline has already accepted four aircraft, increasing the fleet to 42 aircraft.

The company is among the top ten best Russian air carriers. The main office and airport of registration is located in Yekaterinburg. The new planes of Ural Airlines carry out international, domestic regular and charter flights of tourists. The services of this organization are used by passengers from 24 countries of the world, and liners fly on 183 routes. Three years ago, the passenger traffic of this company amounted to over 4 million 500 thousand people, which is 25% more than in 2012. It was then that the organization entered the top five largest and most productive air carriers in Russia.

Passengers who are interested in which aircraft Ural Airlines has, can see photos on the official website of the carrier. At the moment, the management of the organization is building a new hangar in Koltsovo, which is necessary for the maintenance and servicing of modern wide-body aircraft.

Every year there are new flights to the cities of the CIS, Russia and foreign countries. The main airports are Domodedovo (Moscow) and Koltsovo (Yekaterinburg). The official website of Ural Airlines is www.uralairlines.ru (previously www.uralairlines.сom).

Short story

The era of organization began in 1943, when the Sverdlovsk United Aviation Squadron was formed, which included the local airport Koltsovo (at that time it was the base for Aeroflot aircraft). Activity in the form of a separate company started in 1993 - it was then that the air squadron was divided into two independent structures - an airport and an aviation company.

A responsible approach to work and renewal of the fleet has led to an increase in passenger traffic, the official resource of Ural Airlines has appeared, and an automatic check-in system has been introduced. In 2016, the carrier received the Wings of Russia award in several categories at once. One of the proofs of the quality of the services provided is the increasing passenger traffic.

One of the prides of the organization is the gym designed for training pilots. All equipment is configured for Airbus 320 type aircraft. With the help of such a simulator, it is possible to solve a number of tasks:

• Improve pilot skills.
• Train people on personal programs.
• Improve flight safety.

In 2015, information appeared about the imposition of sanctions against the company by Ukraine. The "package" includes the blocking of assets, the termination of payments, as well as the restriction of flights through the country.

Management and aircraft fleet

The success of the air carrier is largely due to the people who are "at the helm" of the organization. To date, Ural Airlines is managed by:

• Production Director Zinoviev A.V.
• Commercial Director Skuratov K.S.
• General Director Skuratov S.N.

As of 2017, the fleet of Ural Airlines has 41 aircraft, namely:

• Airbus A319-7.
• Airbus A320 - 23.
• Airbus A321-11

Previously, the aircraft fleet had domestically produced aircraft - Il-86, Tu-154 and 134, An-24 and 12.

Reviews

Today, many people ask which airline is better - S7 or Ural Airlines. It should be noted that any assessment is subjective and is based solely on the cost and range of services, as well as the opinions of real passengers.

The best "indicator" of quality is reviews of Ural Airlines for 2017, which are both positive and negative.

Of the advantages of an air carrier, people distinguish:

• Friendliness of flight attendants.
• Excellent service.
• Cleanliness in the cabin.
• Lower price (compared to S7 or Aeroflot).
• Excellent condition of the liners

meet and negative reviews about Ural Airlines. The following points stand out:

• Frequent changes in departure times and delays.
• Inconvenient arrangement of seats (with a height of 180 cm, the knees rest on the seat).
• Lack of timely response to complaints.

If we compare Ural Airlines with other carriers, the level of service here is lower. Against this background, one has to be prepared for certain inconveniences in the range of services provided, the condition of ships and the quality of food.

Popular airline destinations Ural Airlines

Simferopol - Moscow, U6 10, 21.07. We checked in online on a convenient website a day before the flight, choosing the best seats. At first, all flights were delayed except ours,...

closer to the flight it turned out that ours was delayed by 30 minutes. We sat at the airport from 13 00 (for some reason they themselves arrived so early), and saw how flight 576 was delayed, about which the negative reviews are below. That's right, they chose UA flights in vain, they should have chosen Aeroflot, then you would have been delayed not for 2 hours that day, but for 4 !!! On this day, the Aeroflot flight to Moscow was delayed by 4 (!!!) hours, and not by 2, like yours. Only Aeroflot has some positive reviews, but here there are only negative ones)) Before us, UA flights flew to Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, with a maximum delay of an hour. We took the "Promo" tariff, everything was enough, because: a) we can read what is written about luggage when buying a ticket. If a person stuffed ~ 23 ~ 32 kg of things and souvenirs into a bag, took the "Promo" tariff, and then minus UA about the surcharge for luggage - well, you need to minus yourself, not the company. Or do you want to be provided with a personal carpet - an airplane for 6 thousand rubles? b) turned to the UA counters for help, behind which were the girls who were generally supposed to do other things, and not answer our questions - the girls helped with a smile, did not say "we do not give information, we draw up an advantage" (I would I probably would have answered it myself =))), but they helped us by saying that if two tickets are for one order, then the luggage is summed up. This saved us from partially emptying the suitcase. By the way - in Simferopol airport there are a huge number of counters and devices for self-check-in for a flight from UA, no other company is represented in such a volume in the port - definitely a plus, you just need to use it, and it’s better for people to strain and blame others so that they themselves don't strain. The flight itself: The last time I flew on a transaero was (yes, a long time ago) on a two-story Boeing (I don’t know the model) with 4 turbines. So then it was shaking harder than on the Airbus 320 UA flying on this flight. We gained altitude in 5 minutes, I didn’t feel any discomfort at all (I attribute it to the fact that the seats were above the wing - we chose these ourselves, thanks to convenient online registration for the day - again plus UA), the same is true when landing. Cons of the flight: - inadequate passengers who got up during the climb to put luggage upstairs - that's right, it's time. They taxied for 15 minutes along the runway, but it was necessary to put the bag on top precisely when climbing - and they made such a disgruntled face when the captain shouted “Sit down” over the connection in shock, as if they were forced to rake manure. Passengers who ignored the request to remove all electronic devices and headphones during takeoff/landing. Passengers who, in a two-hour flight, managed to find a reason to clarify something with the flight attendants and piss them off. Passengers who didn't even bother to thank the captain of the ship for a wonderful flight. (judging by the voice, the captain was young, but he really loves his job, and I even felt very sorry for him that no one thanked him either with applause or at the exit). Passengers who started filming pre-flight briefings on their mobile phones and thereby made the flight attendant nervous (do you want to send YouTube links with such videos?). Of course, the staff is not ironclad, some react calmly, some do not, but not a single steward girl succumbed and did not break, at least she did not show it - plus the staff. I would not have been able to do this, it seems to me that I would have begun to be rude to such citizens, because it is the personnel who are responsible for the lives of people that sit inside an iron can at an altitude of 9 thousand km. And people themselves interfere with all their might .... They get up on takeoff, thinking that the rule of sitting fastened is bullshit for losers, or something. And it would be worth opening a physics textbook (not even aerodynamics), and remembering that this is not so; do not turn off electrical devices that can create fields, thinking that this is nonsense - and this is not nonsense guys, all fields are calculated, and any shift in one of the field vectors used for aircraft technology, even minimal, can lead to disaster. Yes, the passengers wanted to spit. The main thing is your comfort, and not the life of 100 people in an iron can called an airplane. TOTAL - I put 9 airlines. I put 3 passengers of the company (of course, not everyone behaved this way, but for the first time I see that they don’t clap when landing). The only reason for me not to fly UA anymore is the passengers. What is the reason for this without a clue at all, maybe the price attracts inadequate people? I bet 100500 to the pilot of the plane. He apologized for the delay due to late arrival at the port of Simferopol (I am more than sure that it was because of passengers who did not have time / got drunk / think that everyone should wait for them - and the pilot apologizes), but he compensated with a quick flight (2 were supposed to fly: 15, flew 2:05) Pilots are heroic people. They take responsibility for the lives of people who are trying in every possible way to prevent the pilots from saving it. Just out of love for the job. I respect. The plane - the plane is like an airplane, you can see that it flies, nothing more. The Airbus 320 is by far my favorite. Luggage - not lost, not robbed, waited for 10 minutes This situation was on our flight. And by the way, no expired chocolates. All the best, don't be snobs, clap the pilots when landing. P.S. oh, they will downvote this review
