SOME MODELS OF AIRCRAFT USED AT AEROFLOT

The TU-154 embodies all the best qualities of Russian jet-propelled aircraft: speed, distance, economy in mid-range flights, and quality take-offs and landings. The number of seats in the cabin easily converts from 132 to 156. While maintaining all safety standards, its design details significantly reduce the weight of the liner.

The IL-62 was engineered for long-range flights and first took to the air 30 years ago. It is comfortable, easy to fly, and economical. It has several modifications. It earned its irreproachable reputation in Trans-Siberian flights: the shortest and most advantageous route between Western Europe and Japan. It has also set many world records. This was the plane that was used to complete the non-stop flight along Chkalov's legendary route from Moscow to the U.S. over the North pole. Soviet aviationists were present at the dedication of a monument to Chkalov's crew in Seattle. Aeroflot opened the way for new routes to the Americas with the IL-62. The IL-62 has proven to be one of the safest aircraft in the world. It is now being gradually replaced by the new A-310 and Boeing-767.

The IL-86 was the first domestic wide-bodied aircraft. It was introduced in 1980 for the participants and spectators of the XXII Olympic Games in Moscow. Its navigational equipment allows flights to be made under any weather conditions, regardless of the season or time of day.

The IL-96 is the airplane of the new generation. Thanks to this plane, non-stop flights have become possible on routes connecting Russia with America, the Middle and Far East, and countries of the Southern Hemisphere. The Moscow - New York flight began to run regularly in 1993. The foremost ideas were applied in the construction of this aircraft and its systems and equipment. It is capable of carrying passengers for distances up to 11 thousand kilometers. Its wide fuselage (more than six meters) guarantees the comfort of its passengers, increasing the space between seats.

New modifications were made with the express intent of providing a high level of comfort to 235 passengers, their baggage, mail, and cargo over distances reaching 13 thousand kilometers. Various on-board equipment and a pleasant interior guarantee comfort even on the longest of flights and to the most distant destinations. 

The A-310, as is the case with all Airbus Industry aircraft, was specifically designed to meet the needs of airlines and provide unique operational advantages. In its 20 years, the A-310 has become the most profitable 300-seat liner in the world, as well as the most popular wide-bodied airplane. It has a spacious, comfortable cabin, providing passengers on long flights with the most varied forms of entertainment and communications.

The Boeing-767 is used by Aeroflot on long-distance flights. The first model was built in 1981. Since then, more than 500 of these comfortable liners have been turned out.

This was the first airplane that was constructed with a new stronger, lighter material. The most baggage per passenger can be stowed on the Boeing-767; it holds the world record for this. It also holds the record for the longest flight of a civilian twin-engined jet-propelled airplane: 14,890 kilometers.

The Boeing-777 is used by Aeroflot on long-distance flights.
