Nowadays, a large number of people use the services of the Aeroflot company. The fleet of this enterprise has a large selection of machines. Each client can choose their own option for a comfortable flight. It is worth noting that this company is known not only in our country, but also far beyond. Much has been written about this enterprise. Easily and simply in the public domain you can see what Aeroflot is: an aircraft fleet, photos of cars and airports. We will tell you about the history of development and a little about the features of different models of aircraft.
general information
Aeroflot Company is considered one of the largest carriers in the world and the largest in the country. It provides an opportunity to fly to 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. It is important that the main stake belongs to the country, and this brings huge profit to the state.
Amaze the extent to which the company operates. With it, you can fly to forty-two countries on sixty-five permanent routes. Also, Aeroflot's fleet cannot but rejoice. Years of production of cars are getting younger, as management is trying to update the composition. The average age of the aircraft is 4.3 years.
Company History
The company was founded in 1923, but then its name was "Dobrolet". Since then, she has undergone many reformation. The name changed to Aeroflot only in 1932, when all the country's civil aviation began to be called so.
Since that time, the name has remained old, given to it by the Air Fleet. Aeroflot fleet also changed. The USSR was distinguished by a strong air fleet, and the enterprise kept the brand at this level. Until 1991, the organization was not subjected to special processing. After the collapse of the Union, the company organized into a separate joint-stock company, but the state retained the main block of shares.
Aeroflot: fleet
Considering the information received at the beginning of 2017, the company has 189 airliners of different models. Significantly improved the situation was the signing of a contract for the supply of Boeing B787 vehicles, which stipulated the beginning of fleet renewal in 2016. And from 2018, the company will receive Airbus A350 aircraft. 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 name of the model means “Boeing”, “A” means “Airbus”, and the abbreviation “SSJ” means “Dry Superjet”. To understand the difference between these models, you need to tell a little about each of them separately.
A bit about airplanes
It should be noted that
the airline fleet is an indicator of the profitability of the enterprise. The larger and better aircraft, the more reliable and profitable the carrier company. And
reliability is just what we need when planning an air trip. All Aeroflot models have a quality mark and are regularly checked by specialists for compliance. Consider each of them:
- Model "Boeing B777". The aircraft is designed for long-haul flights, up to 14500 kilometers. Able to rise to a height of 13 km. There are salons of the class "business", "comfort" and "economy". Number of seats - 365.

New in the management of Aeroflot
The fleet of this enterprise is not the only pride. There are many new management developments that management also boasts. So, the company took up the process of changing its image, for which it invited highly qualified specialists. Both the color scheme of the aircraft and the uniform of all crews were changed.
But the symbolism of the company in the form of a sickle and a hammer remained the same. It was verified that it was precisely by this symbolism that the company was 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 sponsorship events.
Bonus Programs
I would also like to mention the bonus programs of Aeroflot. The fleet offers its services to all comers, but for regular customers there are advantages. It is possible to accumulate points for flights. You can use them later to buy a ticket, improve the class of service, and much more.
All the opportunities of regular customers can be found at the airport or the main office of the company. Different levels are offered in the club of elite clients: silver and gold. And each of them has its advantages, so Aeroflot customers are happy to use these offers.
