Aeroflot aircraft fleet for a year. What planes are in the Aeroflot fleet. Air carrier program and plans

Aeroflot is the airline that ranks first in the rating of Russian carriers. Despite the fact that this organization has been operating since 1923, its aircraft fleet is one of the newest and youngest compared to other European airlines. Such a criterion as the age of the aircraft is very important, since the safety of air transportation largely depends on it. The average age of Aeroflot aircraft is 4 years. In the first half of the 20th century, the company operated flights on the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod route. At that time this organization was called "Dobrolet". The name "Aeroflot" was officially adopted only in 1932.

Until 1991, it was the largest airline that used only aircraft of Soviet manufacturers for flights. Aeroflot's aircraft fleet was updated with foreign-made aircraft already in 2000. Since that time, Aeroflot has been steadily buying new Boeing or Airbus vehicles and gaining popularity among an increasing number of passengers, increasing the number of routes. Foreign manufacturers contributed to the rebranding of Aeroflot. As a result of the renewal of the fleet in 2000, not only the corporate colors were changed, but also the uniform of the crew members.

Models and number of Aeroflot aircraft

Aeroflot today contains in his park 167 aircraft. And they are all relatively new. Aeroflot's fleet is constantly replenished. Three years ago, 13 new Boeing I777 liners appeared in the airline. Also, starting from 2013, a Boeing 737-800 was put into operation here. In the near future, it is planned to update the fleet. Twenty-two new Boeing B787 models and the same number of Airbus A330s should appear in the company. Since 2011, the carrier has been regularly replenishing its fleet with Sukhoi SuperJet-100 regional aircraft.

Presumably the total number of such models should be 50 units, in accordance with the order. In the future, the company does not intend to slow down, because in order to remain competitive, it is necessary to constantly update the aircraft used and control their safety.

Presumably most of the park will be Airbuses, since according to statistics, these aircraft are the safest, since there are 4 crashes for every thousand flights. For comparison, the same indicator Boeing is 22 units.

The fleet of Russian airlines for March 2016

From month to month, the WORLD-S travel portal publishes information about the average age of the aircraft fleet of Russian airlines, as well as statistical data on the increase / departure from the aircraft fleet, and the reasons. What has changed in Russian aviation in March 2016 compared to February 2016?

There have been several emergency landings over the past month, but fortunately no one on board was hurt. On February 11, 2016, Orenburg Airlines made an emergency landing at Punta Cana Airport (Dominican Republic) with a burning engine. The Punta Cana-Moscow flight was carried out on a Boeing 777-200. On February 26, 2016, the charter air carrier Azur Air, en route from Moscow to Phuket, was forced to land a Boeing 767-300 at the Tashkent airport due to a malfunctioning oil level sensor. Several cases where aircraft skidded off the runway, in particular Ural Airlines. BUT GOODLY, all the incidents caused only fright to the passengers and worries to relatives.

We propose to consider a general table of aircraft movements in airlines and changes in average age.

TABLE: Fleet and age of aircraft of Russian airlines as of March 13, 2016

* You can find more detailed information about a specific fleet of the air carrier on our website in the Russian Airlines section.

Analysis of statistical changes in the fleet:

Air fleet Aeroflot increased by 2 units. through the acquisition of Airbus A320 from the leasing company GTLK Europe Ltd. Deliveries of new Airbuses for 2016 are planned in the amount of 7 pieces before the end of the year. Since May 2016, it has been launching regular flights from Moscow to Alicante.

Charter carrier air fleet I-Fly reduced to a minimum - now consists of two aircraft. The Airbus A330-300 (February 2016 - tail number EI-ETI) and Boeing 757-200 (February 2016 - tail number EI-DUC) dropped out. The average time was not affected. Now I Fly sends tourists on two aircraft models A330-300 (age 20.1 years) and Boeing 757-200 (age 15 years). The reason, most likely, was a decline in demand for tourist destinations, and perhaps financial difficulties. Therefore, now the tourist does not have to think much on which plane he will fly. There are only TWO of them.

Azur Air received from Nordwind Airlines a Boeing 737-800NG at the age of 14, thereby increasing its fleet.

Nordwind Airlines reduced its fleet by 5 aircraft due to falling tourist demand for certain destinations.

On February 29, 2016, it opened 4 new destinations from Rostov-on-Don to Samara, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Sochi, thereby increasing the fleet by CRJ-100ER purchased on the secondary market from the French airline Brit Air for a period of 18 years. In this regard, the average age of the fleet has increased.

Orenburg Airlines Boeing 777-200 was not written off after an emergency landing at Punta Cana airport in connection with the investigation and finding out the reasons. But we can already talk about minus 1 aircraft.

Based on the foregoing, we can say that sufficient changes have occurred in Russian aviation over the month. Some air carriers are expanding their route network, while others are reducing aviation costs to a minimum - getting rid of aircraft due to the decline in tourist flow and the closure of some tourist destinations (Turkey, Egypt).

It is believed that until 1991 airlines provided flight services only on Russian-made airliners. At the beginning of the 21st century, the air carrier expanded its flotilla with ships of well-known world manufacturers.

Since the beginning of 2000, the airline has been constantly buying and ordering novelties released on the world aviation market, and replenishing the company's balance sheet with improved and modernized Russian liners.

Airline customers fly on airliners - because these models are considered the best of the aircraft that are on the market.
