The largest airlines in Russia are leaders in the transportation of passengers over long distances connecting the continents, continents and countries. We will try to figure out who in our country claims to be a leader and to whom you can trust your life.

Passenger Transportation Leaders

Here is a list of the largest airlines in Russia:

1. Aeroflot.
2. Transaero.
3. UTair.
4. S7 Airlines.
5. "North wind".
6. Ural Airlines.
7. "Russia".
8. "Orenburg Airlines".
9. Icarus.
10. "The globe".

In 2015, the situation on the air transportation market was not quite favorable. According to statistics, in the first six months, many carriers lost up to 1.4% of their average passenger flow over the previous year. For example, Transaero, the leader in international traffic, lost 4.2% during the spring-summer period compared to the same period in 2014.

A 5.7% drop in demand was felt by Sibir, while UTair lost almost a third of its passenger traffic. Increased sales are felt only by Aeroflot and Russia. Moreover, the share of the latter last year increased by as much as 21%.

If you add all the data, it turns out that in the first half of 2015, the largest airlines in Russia lost 15 million 520 thousand passengers.

Aeroflot

Aeroflot is truly the leader in transportation in Russia. The company even managed to get into the Guinness Book of Records thanks to the huge passenger flow. In 2014, this figure was 67 million 121 thousand. For information, passenger flow is the number of people traveling there and back. Thus, the number indicates what turnover the company is capable of servicing over the year. And so, a total of 23 million 610 thousand people used the services of Aeroflot last year.

Transaero

The rating of the largest airlines in Russia cannot be imagined without Transaero. This company always goes side by side with Aeroflot and is second only to some numbers. If you look at the rating on the number of traffic with international traffic, then this carrier would undoubtedly take first place.

This is not surprising, because Transaero carries out transportation to all five continents, connects the largest cities in the world and allows our compatriots to travel without borders. Last year, the passenger flow rate stopped at around 47 million 66 thousand passenger kilometers. During the year, a little more than 13 million passengers were transported.

UTair

For 25 years of its operation, the company was able to gain a good share of the Russian air transportation market. Today it closes the top three in the rating "The Largest Airlines of Russia in Passenger Flow". Airplanes fly to 85 points of the world, including the cities of our immense homeland.

UTair offers 4 service options for its passengers: economy, comfort, business and premium. People flying in economy class can only rely on soft drinks, comfort means more convenient places, a warm blanket and lunch during the flight. The business is even better developed, but only high-ranking individuals use the premium, since they have a separate entrance and exit, as well as a comfortable lounge and flights exclusively on the best airplanes. The passenger turnover in 2014 amounted to 20 million passenger-kilometers.

S7 Airlines

S7 Airlines (or, as they call it, Siberia) is the largest carrier in domestic destinations. Of course, residents of Siberia can use this carrier to fly to the CIS countries, East Asia and the Middle East.

In 2014, S7 Airlines reached its maximum in terms of passenger flow, which amounted to 15 million passenger-kilometers. During this period, nearly 7 million people used the services of a carrier.

"North wind"

Although the name of the company is associated with the majority of the fact that the airline operates its flights to the northern directions, this is not so. The main airport is Sheremetyevo in Moscow, and flights are carried out to almost all the most popular resort cities in Russia and the world. Thanks to its routes, the "North Wind" was able to get into the rating "The Largest Airlines of Russia".

In 2014, 4 million 472 thousand people flew to some resort city in the world aboard the North Wind aircraft. In the same year, passenger traffic amounted to 13.4 million passenger-kilometers.

World leaders in the number of passengers carried

Consider the largest airlines in Russia and the world by such a parameter as the number of passengers carried.

1. The first place at the company from the USA is American Airlines, its indicator is 193 million people. This is the largest company in the world, making transportation to almost all points of the globe.
2. The second place is also from the representative from the United States - Delta Air Lines. 164 million passengers a year do not allow to bypass American Airlines.
3. And completing the top three, another American company - United Airlines. She is able to serve 30 thousand passengers less than her closest rival Delta Air Lines.

9. British airline EasyJet transports a little more than 61 million people.
10. China closes the top ten. China Airlines is able to serve 51 million passengers.

The largest Russian airlines Aeroflot and Transaero were able to enter only the top thirty. Among the leaders they are not.

World leaders in passenger traffic

As for such an indicator as passenger flow, then the seats were distributed a little differently. Recall that the largest Russian airlines in terms of passenger turnover are Aeroflot, Transaero and UTair. As for the last company, it, unfortunately, never entered the world ratings at all, its service sector is too small. But the leaders of the domestic market can often be found on the lists of the largest airlines in the world.

So, we present the rating of world air carriers according to passenger traffic data:

1. He heads the American Airlines rating given that a couple of years ago there was a merger with another American company. Thanks to this, the company has become a world leader, and its indicator for 2014 is 346.878 billion passenger-kilometers.
2. United Airlines is in second place, although in the previous rating it is in third place - 330.124 billion passenger-kilometers.
3. The third line is at Delta Air Lines and 313.809 billion passenger-kilometers.
4. The fourth place is honorably occupied by United Arab Airlines, which serves all of Southeast Asia. Passenger traffic is 215.353 billion passenger kilometers.
5. Let us dwell on the fifth line, which belongs to Germany, Lufthansa with the number of 153.204 billion passenger-people per year.
