S7 Airlines (Siberia Airlines) is a Russian airline based at Moscow Domodedovo Airport, one of the largest in terms of the number of passengers carried. At the time of its 20th anniversary, S7 Airlines has 146 destinations of its own route network to 26 countries of the world. The company, founded in the center of the continent, today operates flights to the most extreme points of Eurasia, many thousands of kilometers apart.

The history of Siberia Airlines begins in 1957, when the first civilian flight was carried out from a military airfield in the Novosibirsk region (future Tolmachevo Airport). It was on the basis of the Tolmachevsky air squad that the Siberia airline was formed in 1992.



Tu-154. This aircraft is an integral part of the history of domestic civil aviation. For a long time, the Tu-154 formed the basis of the Sibir fleet. In 2012, for the 20th anniversary of S7 Airlines, a Tu-154 monument aircraft with tail number RA-85628, which made a huge number of flights with the airline, was installed on a pedestal near the entrance to Tolmachevo airport:

Novosibirsk International Airport (Tolmachevo) is the largest transit hub beyond the Urals on key routes between Europe and Asia.

For a long time, the airport was the base for S7 Airlines, and today it remains the main hub in the eastern part of the country.

The airline's rapid development has led to the need to expand beyond the Siberian region.

Since 2001, the company began actively expanding its route network, opening new flights from Moscow and other Russian cities.

Today Domodedovo is the main and key airport for S7 Airlines. The company has the most modern and one of the youngest aircraft fleets on the Russian air transportation market. All flights are operated only on aircraft manufactured abroad by Airbus and Boeing.

The airline's fleet includes 20 Airbus A319 aircraft, 17 Airbus A320 aircraft, four Airbus A321 aircraft and two long-haul Boeing 767-300 aircraft.

S7 Airlines aircraft have a bright green color, which makes them visible at almost any airport in the world.

The company, founded in the center of the continent, today operates flights to the most extreme points of Eurasia, many thousands of kilometers apart. Every day S7 aircraft make 197 flights to 146 destinations in 26 countries.

Here are some extreme points of the airline's route network. The westernmost point is Dublin (Ireland). Ireland is traditionally associated with Guinness beer, whiskey and the famous national dance:

Hong Kong Airport (Chek Lap Kok) is one of the busiest on the planet. This is one of the southernmost points in the international route network of S7 Airlines:

The easternmost point is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. From the east, Kamchatka is washed by the Pacific Ocean, and in the summer the sun rises on the peninsula at a time when people in Moscow have not yet gone to bed - the time difference is as much as 8 hours:

Kamchatka has no land connections with the Russian mainland, so you can only get here by plane.

Norilsk is located beyond the Arctic Circle in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The city has an extremely harsh climate, winter here lasts at least 8 months, and the historical minimum recorded in Norilsk is -64.7 degrees!

Westernmost continental point - Madrid (Spain):

While passengers are waiting to board their flight in the airport halls, ground services are busy preparing the plane for departure. They are faced with a difficult task - to complete regulatory procedures in a short time, refuel the plane with fuel, water, load luggage and do everything necessary to make the upcoming flight safe and comfortable.

The minimum standard for aircraft ground maintenance time is approximately 37 minutes.

The aircraft crew takes food, checks the functionality of the on-board systems and the readiness of the aircraft for departure. Airport services clean the cabin, and flight attendants check the readiness of each seat.

Before each flight, pilots carry out an external inspection of the aircraft: they check the aircraft's components and components for damage, and the engines for the presence of icing in the winter.

Airport shuttles bring passengers to the plane. The average daily passenger traffic of S7 airlines is 22,600 people.

If the aircraft takes off in weather conditions that predispose to the formation of ice on the surface of the aircraft, it must be treated with a special anti-icing fluid.

All checks have been completed and the plane is completely ready for departure. The crew has already conducted the pre-flight briefing, and the tractor is towing the airliner onto the taxiway. The pilots start the engines and proceed to the take-off point and onto the runway.

Tolmachevo - start, Sibir-174 on the executive, do you allow takeoff? - Sibir-174, take-off cleared!

The plane's engines slowly fill with thrust, a pleasant hum is heard throughout the cabin, and the airliner quickly begins its movement along the runway.

Approach to Vladivostok airport:

Vladivostok Knevichi Airport is a large regional hub of the company in the east of the country. The city is more than 9,000 km away from Moscow: traveling here by train will take a whole week!

Since 2010, S7 Airlines has been a full member of the Oneworld global aviation alliance. The alliance includes the world's largest airlines: AirBerlin, AmericanAirlines, BritishAirways, CathayPacific, Finnair, Iberia, JapanAirlines, LAN, MalaysiaAirlines, Qantas, RoyalJordanian, QatarAirways, as well as more than 20 affiliated carrier partners.

Mission control center. Technologies implemented in the S7 Airlines Flight Control Center allow real-time monitoring of aircraft movement, the process of ground handling, obtaining data on commercial load, the state of aircraft resources, and also taking measures to comply with vessel traffic schedules and scheduled flights:

The control screens of employees reflect the aircraft movement schedule for the current day with departure and arrival airports.

Aviation training center "S7 Training" is the largest center for training pilots and crews in Russia and Eastern Europe:

The center operates several complex flight simulators (Full Flight Simulator).

They are designed to train pilots for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 family aircraft.

The simulator complex for emergency rescue training allows you to simulate various types of emergency situations that arise on board an aircraft:

(Novosibirsk city). Currently, the fleet consists of 72 aircraft of six types:

  • Airbus A319 (19 aircraft);
  • Airbus A320 (18 aircraft);
  • Airbus A320neo (two aircraft);
  • Airbus A321 (seven aircraft);
  • Boeing 737-800 (19 aircraft);
  • Embraer ERJ-170 (seven aircraft).

The average age of aircraft in service is just over 10 years. The airline plans to launch 36 more aircraft.

Aircraft manufacturers

The airline's aircraft manufacturers are the American corporation Boeing (since 2007), the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus (since 2008) and the Brazilian company Embraer (since 2016). Until 2008, aircraft of the S.V. Ilyushin Aviation Complex (Il-86) and the Tupolev Aviation Design Bureau (Tu-154, Tu-204) were operated.

Start of aircraft production and modification

Airbus

Airplane cabin diagram

The Airbus A319 cabin accommodates 144 economy class passengers in 24 rows.

The best seats are located in the first and 11th rows. The tenth row is not the most comfortable due to the proximity of emergency exits and the inability to recline the seat backs, the 24th row - due to the proximity of the toilets. It is better to sit in the front row with children.

The Airbus A320 cabin accommodates eight business class passengers in two rows and 150 economy class passengers in 25 rows.

The best seats are business class. In economy class, the most comfortable seats on the plane are the third and 11th rows. The ninth and tenth rows are not the most convenient due to the proximity of emergency exits, the 27th - due to the proximity of the toilets. It is better to sit in the third row with children.

The Airbus A320neo cabin accommodates eight business class passengers in two rows and 156 economy class passengers in 26 rows.

The seat arrangement of this type of aircraft is almost identical to the Airbus A320, with the exception of the increased number of rows - 28 instead of 27.

The Airbus A321 cabin accommodates eight business class passengers in two rows and 189 economy class passengers in 33 rows.

The best seats on this plane are business class. In economy class, the most comfortable seats are the third row - it is for this row that premium economy class air tickets are purchased. The ninth, tenth, 22nd and 23rd rows are located near the emergency exits - not the most comfortable places due to the inability to recline the seat backs. In the ninth row there are no seats A and F, in the 22nd row there is no seat F, in the 21st and 22nd rows there are no seats A, B, C. Accordingly, the legroom for passengers in the tenth and 23rd rows has been increased. Row 35 is not the best due to the proximity of the restrooms. It is better to sit in the third row with children.

S7 Airlines Boeing 737-800 aircraft are used in the Winglets modification (with new wingtips). The cabin can accommodate eight business class passengers in two rows and 168 economy class passengers in 28 rows.

Business class has the most comfortable seats, while economy class seats have the third and 14th rows. The 12th and 13th rows are not the most comfortable due to the proximity of the emergency hatches, the 30th - due to the proximity of the toilets. It is better to sit in the third row with children.

Note! Flight safety rules do not allow passengers with children, animals, disabled people and the elderly to occupy seats near emergency exits. Hand luggage must be stowed in the overhead compartment above the seats.

The Embraer ERJ-170 aircraft has 78 economy class seats in 20 rows.

There are no provisions for emergency hatches in the aircraft cabin. Almost all places are the same. The most comfortable seats are the first (seats C, D) and second (seats A, B) rows. Row 20 is not the best for flying due to the proximity of the toilets.

Passenger amenities

The airline's operating passenger aircraft are equipped with sockets for charging mobile devices and other gadgets. Passengers are also provided with food and drinks (depending on the chosen fare). There is no Wi-Fi on board.

Thus, S7 Airlines offers its passengers comfortable flights to many countries in Europe and Asia in comfortable aircraft of several types, with the ability to choose seats in both economy and business class. The company regularly updates its aircraft fleet, replacing old models with new ones and increasing the number of aircraft in general.

Video

The newest best military aircraft of the Russian Air Force and the world photos, pictures, videos about the value of a fighter aircraft as a combat weapon capable of ensuring “superiority in the air” was recognized by the military circles of all states by the spring of 1916. This required the creation of a special combat aircraft superior to all others in speed, maneuverability, altitude and the use of offensive small arms. In November 1915, Nieuport II Webe biplanes arrived at the front. This was the first aircraft built in France that was intended for air combat.

The most modern domestic military aircraft in Russia and the world owe their appearance to the popularization and development of aviation in Russia, which was facilitated by the flights of Russian pilots M. Efimov, N. Popov, G. Alekhnovich, A. Shiukov, B. Rossiysky, S. Utochkin. The first domestic cars of designers J. Gakkel, I. Sikorsky, D. Grigorovich, V. Slesarev, I. Steglau began to appear. In 1913, the Russian Knight heavy aircraft made its first flight. But one cannot help but recall the first creator of the aircraft in the world - Captain 1st Rank Alexander Fedorovich Mozhaisky.

Soviet military aircraft of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War sought to hit enemy troops, their communications and other targets in the rear with air strikes, which led to the creation of bomber aircraft capable of carrying a large bomb load over considerable distances. The variety of combat missions to bomb enemy forces in the tactical and operational depth of the fronts led to the understanding of the fact that their implementation must be commensurate with the tactical and technical capabilities of a particular aircraft. Therefore, the design teams had to resolve the issue of specialization of bomber aircraft, which led to the emergence of several classes of these machines.

Types and classification, latest models of military aircraft in Russia and the world. It was obvious that it would take time to create a specialized fighter aircraft, so the first step in this direction was an attempt to arm existing aircraft with small offensive weapons. Mobile machine gun mounts, which began to be equipped with aircraft, required excessive efforts from pilots, since controlling the machine in maneuverable combat and simultaneously firing from unstable weapons reduced the effectiveness of shooting. The use of a two-seater aircraft as a fighter, where one of the crew members served as a gunner, also created certain problems, because the increase in weight and drag of the machine led to a decrease in its flight qualities.

What types of planes are there? In our years, aviation has made a big qualitative leap, expressed in a significant increase in flight speed. This was facilitated by progress in the field of aerodynamics, the creation of new, more powerful engines, structural materials, and electronic equipment. computerization of calculation methods, etc. Supersonic speeds have become the main flight modes of fighter aircraft. However, the race for speed also had its negative sides - the takeoff and landing characteristics and maneuverability of the aircraft sharply deteriorated. During these years, the level of aircraft construction reached such a level that it became possible to begin creating aircraft with variable sweep wings.

For Russian combat aircraft, in order to further increase the flight speeds of jet fighters exceeding the speed of sound, it was necessary to increase their power supply, increase the specific characteristics of turbojet engines, and also improve the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. For this purpose, engines with an axial compressor were developed, which had smaller frontal dimensions, higher efficiency and better weight characteristics. To significantly increase thrust, and therefore flight speed, afterburners were introduced into the engine design. Improving the aerodynamic shapes of aircraft consisted of using wings and tail surfaces with large sweep angles (in the transition to thin delta wings), as well as supersonic air intakes.
