WINDROSE is an example of the success of a charter airline, which was able to achieve great success in a relatively short period of time. Airline "Windrose" was founded in October 2003. Today it operates flights from almost all regions of Ukraine.
Total information
The company employs pilots with experience of more than 10,000 hours. The crew was certified by the aviation authorities, it is trained in modern centers, and aircraft comply with today's requirements. WINDROSE was one of the first to operate modern airliners, and recently replenished the fleet with new models of air transport - two Airbus-321 units. The goal of the airline is to ensure the safety of passengers and their comfort. For this, a convenient schedule, a flexible tariff system and menu options are improved. In addition, Rosa Vetrov Airlines sponsors cultural and sporting events, and draws up airplanes in folklore motives. The company's restrictions on hand luggage are quite acceptable: one unit weighing no more than eight kilograms.
WINDROSE Development History
The first scheduled and charter flights departed from Lviv and Kiev. In the future, routes were built from these points throughout Ukraine, to Georgia, Russia and other countries. The first charter flights departed for Croatia, Turkey, Montenegro, Spain and Egypt. WINDROSE Airlines is positioning itself as an "innovator."
- Actively sells tickets over the Internet. You can buy them not only on the official website, but also on the resources of intermediaries.
- It takes care of the comfort of customers, launching new services.
- One of the first airlines to start offering various types of menus for charter flights was Roza Vetrov Airlines. WINDROSE offers diabetic, children's, low-calorie and lactose-free dishes.
Airline innovations
Recently, WINDROSE Airlines began operating flights from Kiev to Bangkok three times a week on a new Airbus-321 aircraft. The aircraft cabin was equipped with new seats. After this modernization, a new premium class of service appeared with increased comfort, the ability to increase the step of seats, a wide range of drinks and a specially designed menu. Just before the start of the summer season, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine approved a flight from Lviv to Dalaman, which will be operated by Roza Vetrov. The airline schedule for this route was up to October 2014.
Passenger reviews - the best feature
Despite the constant development, not all innovations are pleasant to passengers. For example, all the same menu that the company advertises so actively for charter flights is limited to small portions. Depending on the time of flight, for dinner you can get mashed potatoes with small pieces of meat, a sandwich and a small dessert with a drink of your choice. In economy class - a side dish of rice with vegetables, a piece of fried fillet, fresh vegetables. This is confirmed by the reviews of passengers. Airline "Wind Rose" very carefully refers to the comfort of its customers. The check-in procedure is quite quick, but the queues for purchasing tickets are long, but even a few hours before the flight, you can get seats in the forefront. For passengers who use the services of the airline for the first time, experienced staff will tell you where to go to check-in, and the flight attendants will indicate the seats.
Special conditions
Especially for passengers with small children, Rosa Vetrov Airlines offers the opportunity to hand over a stroller at the plane's ramp during landing. Customer reviews indicate that it will be possible to get it back only with shared baggage. It’s not a fact that during the flight the item will not be damaged. If possible, it is better to hand over the stroller along with the main baggage.
Airline Windrose - FAQ
As for booking tickets, charter flights are dismantled very quickly. If possible, it is better to book a ticket in advance via the Internet. In the case of a delay of registration for 15 minutes, you should not worry about the postponement of arrival time. Very often, the flight time is reduced, and the aircraft can arrive even before the appointed time. During a long flight (more than four hours), the flight attendant's dinner is served one hour after departure. Meals are included in the ticket price. In the second round, drinks are most often offered. If desired, you can take on board dry cookies and sweets.
The airliner is always very clean and comfortable: a spacious cabin, comfortable seats with a large distance between the seats, excellent finishes and gadgets that allow you to shop online on the fly. In economy class salons, there are armchairs without soft backs and armrests, a modest panel with air conditioning, but TVs or screens may be missing. In such cases, you can pass the time by reading magazines and advertising brochures. There are a lot of them on board.
Such flight conditions are offered by Rosa Vetrov airline. The feedback of many users comes down to one thing: during long flights it is better to use the services of other companies. In terms of price-quality ratio, the Windrose is more suitable for short flights, especially when it comes to the Airbas 330. Many passengers complain that the plane has a very small cabin: a narrow aisle and two rows of three seats. Some older airbuses do not lock seats. If you lean on, you can fall on the back of a seated passenger. On the armrests and seat belts there are old chewing gum. Long flights take place with additional landing and refueling. Sometimes force majeure happens: a lack of seats, an uncleaned salon, and so on.
Thus, we can conclude that user reviews about the airline are mixed, especially when it comes to charter flights. You can get into an old plane with a not very comfortable cabin. As for the process of take-off, landing and the flight itself, there are no complaints. Almost all of the clients of Rosa Vetrov Airlines respond positively to the professional team of pilots.
