RBC study: Russia flies on. What you need to know about airline airlines Russia? What air carrier has the oldest aircraft

Flying trash. Age airline airlines
*******

The age of the deceiving 24.03.2015 in the south of France passenger A320 was 24 years. One and a half hundred people died ... (((... The plane belonged to the German airline German Wings, the maintenance of the side was carried out by Lufthansa technical staff, which owns this airline.
**
The question arises: 24 years for aircraft - a lot this or a little? And what is the real situation with age of aircraft in the global branch of passenger air transportation?
**
Most recently, things were so that all solid airlines, they usually got rid of liners older than 12-15 years. And these aircraft purchased many countries, including Russia.
**
The average age of the aircraft of German Wings for 2015 is 9 years old.
Is there a lot or a little?
**
According to the data for 2012, German Wings had only 7 years of middle age and - 38th place in the middle-aged airpark rating 100 airlines.

Age of Russian airlines for April 2013
****
Updated Ranking As of November 19, 2013 Ready to the updated rating http://letaem-vmeste.livejournal.com/99896.html

***
Want to know what airlines transport you to new planes? We present to your attention the next updated rating of the largest Russian airlines ranked by the age of their fleet. Taking into account the global tendencies of the formation of airpalks, the rating is conditionally divided into 3 ranges: a green (young fleet, up to 10 years old), orange (average age airfield, from 10 to 15 years old) and red (outdated age-related airfield, over 15 years).
***
For those who have passed since the previous publication of the rating of serious success in the issue of updates, the Park Paid has achieved only 2 subsidiaries of Aeroflot. Airlines Russia due to the withdrawal of 20-year-old Boobs-737 and receiving 6-year-old A-319 and A-320, reduced the average age of its airfield at once for 2 years and moved to the green range. Similar operations allowed Donavia Airlines to reduce the average age of aircraft exploited for 4 years and move from Red to Orange Range.

Surely, many used flights of the airline "Russia". But what is the airline "Russia"? How did she appear and who is the owner? This is a subsidiary. She is since November 16, 2011. Her park is not very big, however, it represents a rather large variety.

Being one of the largest, its passenger traffic is increasing from year to year. Only in 2015, about 4.7 million people were transported. Hub in - Pulkovo Airport, and in Moscow - Vnukovo. Also an additional hub is Simferopol Airport.

Initially, she was Pulkovo. She was reorganized in "Russia" October 9, 2006. Thereafter, 5 years laterShe entered the Aeroflot.

Earlier in her came and Special flight detachment "Russia". This is an airline that transports exclusively to the first persons of Russia. But then she came out of it, becoming independent enterprises.

Stewardles of the company "Russia".

Not so long ago it was also included "Orenburg Airlines" and "Donavia". The company's policy is to first meet the needs of the average consumer. Now at the company almost 74 aircraft.

Continuing to remain part of Aeroflot, it performs all flights under the name "Aeroflot". Also in the Aeroflot Bonus system. About what it is, you can read in.

Today is the company carries out flights to 25 Russian cities and at the same number of items around the world.. Also cooperates with the Zenit football club, with which they have signed an agreement.

Park company "Russia"

As noted above, the fleet of the company has almost 74 liners. Of those, what aircraft in the airline "Russia" is now, almost all counts age 9-12 years old.

Photo of the company "Russia" you can see below. Most of them were acquired from other airlines.

The main characteristics of the aircraft of Russia.

The largest number of aircraft from is Airbus A319-100. Total number 26 models, of which 10 belonged to Donavia.

One of them painted in the corporate colors of the Zenit football team. In October 2014, a special contest was arranged for the best design. Sergey Skrebnev won him. According to his sketches, in Holland, the plane was painted into new colors.

From aerobus companies have 5 more Airbus A320-200. All 5 aircraft from the very beginning belonged to the company.

Almost 30 other aircraft are Boeing. 15 models Boeing 737-800which previously belonged to the "Orenburg Airlines".

From the same company - 1 Boeing 777-200. After the bankruptcy of Transaero, the airfield was still replenished 9 Boeing 747-400 and 5 Boeing 777-300.Some of them were registered in Ireland, and part - on the Bermuda Islands.

Until April 9, 2015, Russia had 3 Boeing 767-300, as well as An-148, But following its anti-crisis program, the company refused them.

Boeing 777-300ER.

It was also ordered - 5 Boeing 777-300ERwhich previously belonged to the airline "Emirates" and another 20 sukhoi SuperJet 100.

They were planned for the transfer of Aeroflot, but then the decision was changed in favor of "Russia".

Sukhoi SuperJet 100.

New design

Aircraft previously owned by the companies "Orenburg Airlines" and "Donavia", there is still a reparting in new colors firmAccording to a completely new design. Some airbones and boobies have already been made in this vein.

The fuselage in bright red, then seems to be split into small geometric shapes to the wings.

For them, by the way, real small wings are drawn. The nose of aircraft shows the name of the company - "Russia".

Holivari on this score of the divecha broke out with a new force due to the message about the bunting tire of the Boeing 737 "Transaero" tire in Israel. To make your opinion on this issue once and forever, let's communicate logic and professionals.

All who at least somehow is technically connected with aviation, they say: the safety of the flight is influenced by the technical condition of the aircraft, which, with its age, is associated very indirectly. Quote from the official, which is investigating a plane crash in the CIS:

Over the past five years, the number of catastrophes in the world, including Russia, with aircraft passengerization of more than 50 places is the same for age aircraft up to 5 years and over 30 years. According to available information, the average age of the Boeing 737-500 aircraft exploited to the United States is 20.4 years. In Europe - 20.3 years.

But, maybe statistics spoil some small airlines that picked up their trash, but are big and serious carriers prefer new techniques? It turns out no. The average age of the Boeing-737 one of the largest European airlines "Lufthansa" - exceeds 24 years. The American flagship and the greatest airline of the world "Delta Airlines" actively uses Boeing-747 over 23 years old and 20-year-old A-320. The British from British Eyrueis, despite the famous in the literature, Chiefness and Potigability do not even think to abandon the Boeing 737, which is almost 23 years old. In general, it is possible to continue for a long time, but the picture as a whole is already clear.

Why is it so possible? After all, the new technique should, no, simply must be reliable and safer. I think this is a kind of conviction rose from the automotive experience of most people who adhere to such a look. In the case of machines, it may, and justified. But in aviation, the situation is different. I explain. The fact is that, in contrast to the automotive, there were no breakthies in aviation for many decades. In my opinion, from December 31, 1968, when his first flight was performed the world's first passenger supersonic Tu-144 aircraft. After that, we have not seen anything fundamentally new - not counting the larger implementation of computers, improving the navigation care and the like of the associated innovations. On airplanes, released 20 years ago, all this modern equipment can be installed without difficulty, after which the old liners seem to be more fundamentally different from new ones.

In order for the aircraft to be in good technical form, even after two dozen years of operation, a lot of strict rules will be worked out, which are strictly observed. In addition to periodic checks of various nodes and equipment, aircraft are tested and before each takeoff. At the same time, all the liner systems are tested, and if at least one of them causes some questions, the plane simply will not take off. No technician will assume responsibility for the life of hundreds of people. In case of identifying a potentially dangerous malfunction, it is easier for him to send an aircraft to a more thorough examination. And the age of the aircraft does not affect it. Violators of this rule very quickly fall into different black lists, for example, they close the European sky. There are no such airlines in Russia. With a list you can read.

And here are still arguments based on Russian reality. Aeroflot has the youngest fleet not only in our country, but also in the world (among major airlines). We look at the statistics and - voila - this year we see seven aircases. Three of them are associated with engines, including stalled directly in flight. Let's run through the rest of the leader's top five, the fleet of which is noticeable older. In Transaero, for the same period, only two incidents are fixed. S7 - two, in "Russia" - one, UTair - counted seven . And what last year? But what.

Aeroflot - 11.
Transaero - 8.
Russia - 6.
S7 - 5.
UTair - 3.

We conclude: The number of airflowers is not connected with the age of airplanes, but much more, although not directly, with flight frequency (which is fairly not only for aviation, but also for all other spheres of life, the one who does nothing) is not mistaken. Where do the legs grow on the danger of old aircraft? Yes, everything from there, from the desire to deal with competitors not quite honest ways. About how black PR works in aviation, I already wrote, I will not repeat. We read.

From the flights of the company and their workload directly depends on whataIRPARK. It will be at this carrier. This article contains information aboutaircraft that use popularrussian airlines.

Numerous surveys of air passengers say that people like to fly on new airliners. We are interested in which Russian companies are most of all modern aircraft, and found out the following.

First of all, we will understand how the novelty of the aircraft fleet is determined. One way is to compare the average age of airparks, but it is more interesting to look at the number of new sides of each airline.

S7.

The famous Russian company chose the A320NEO family and purchased 20 cars in this series at the Airbus. The model came out from the conveyor only 3 years ago, so the owner of two dozen new Neo is considered prestigious. In general, S7 loves to acquire modern aircraft: once the first in Russia she received two copies of freshly Boeing 737 Max 8, but stopped producing them into the air after two catastrophes of the courts of this type that occurred in different countries.

Already at the stage of booking a ticket S7, you can determine on which airliner you fly: information is visible on the site.

Test: Find out the airline on the aircraft. 10 issues for experts:

"Ural Airlines"

This airline is also the lucky owner of several A320NEO and one A321NEO, but they can be counted on the fingers.

"Urals" do not show the type of airline: flight on the newest model becomes a surprise before planting. True, several routes serve only NEO, one of them Moscow - Blagoveshchensk.

Other airlines

The average age of the Aeroflot Park is only 5 years old (this is considered a little), he has not yet purchased new types of airliners. This year, the supply of far-haul Airbus A350 is planned, which will fly in foreign directions.

"Victory" - the owner of one of the freshest parks (average age of less than 3 years), it consists of modern, but already removed from the production of Boeing 737-800. On the replacement of this model already ordered "Max", but so far their delivery is delayed.

Azimuth flies on the superjet series aircraft, and his park is quite young. The remaining large domestic air carriers cannot boast of modern aircraft.
