Transaero is the first private Russian air carrier. The date of creation of the company falls on 11/05/1991. It was then that she first carried out her first piloting on a company plane under the UN code. And by 1993, the aviation company began to carry out flights on international and domestic flights, expanding its directions.
Transaero - how it was
The company offered a wide range of services for its customers, having in its arsenal 4 classes of service. The pricing policy evolved in such a way that tickets were available for any person with different financial capabilities.
Pilots and stewards regularly underwent internship on high-class aircraft of international level. That allowed on an ongoing basis to maintain and improve the quality of passenger service.
In 2007, Transaero became the first carrier to sell electronic tickets online. This and many other achievements have allowed the company to enter the Top 50 of the best air carriers in the world.
Bankruptcy of Transaero Airlines
In early October 2015, the company stopped selling tickets due to financial difficulties. It was then that the management of the company decided that it was necessary to create a service to check the status of Transaero flights for passengers who bought tickets earlier. Until December 15, 2015, another major Russian carrier, Aeroflot, committed itself to transporting passengers of a bankrupt airline.
Thus, passengers did not have to call the call center phones to find out the status of Transaero flight. To do this, you had to go to the carrier’s website and in the appropriate section indicate your last name and first name in Latin letters (as was indicated on the ticket purchased), enter the flight number (without the first alphabetic UN values) and the flight date.
Updated version of Transaero service
In addition to the need for passengers not only to find out the status of the Transaero flight, but also to find out other key points of the flight, it was necessary to refine the service in order to relieve the company's call center. And on 10/18/2015, the service was finalized. Now information was provided not only about whether the flight would take place, but also about the replacement of the aircraft, airport and time, if one or more parameters were replaced.
Despite all the improvements to the system, many passengers observed that the status of the Transaero flight status was not always correct. For example, some flights were completed, and the service indicated that it was canceled. And in general, the entire booking system was chaotic. Many experts were of the opinion that these actions were caused by inconsistent joint work of the two airlines.
For information, on Monday 19.10.2015, Transaero canceled more than 80 flights, both domestic and international flights. Therefore, checking the status of the Transaero flight has become an urgent issue for most passengers.
Are there any departures in 2017?
Currently, the aviation company does not operate flights in any of the directions. The service created for passengers so that they can find out the status of the Transaero flight is now silent. The company's management announced its intention to resume flights in the current 2017, but under a different name.
Debt to creditors will be inherited by the successor of Transaero. And, as you know, the carrier has considerable debts. To revive flights, serious financial investments are required: this is the recruitment of a new staff, obtaining a license for passenger air transportation, a fleet of aircraft, and so on. Many airlines experience financial difficulties in the airline market. Therefore, now everything depends on the intentions of potential lenders.
