This year, UWT Aero Airlines has managed to enter the top thirty companies whose passenger flow is steadily increasing year by year. Moreover, the air carrier has more than once been recognized as one of the most punctual. However, many in our country, this airline is still unfamiliar. Therefore, today we decided to talk about this carrier, focusing on the reviews about UWT Aero left by passengers. Well, let's get started.
A few words about the company
YuVT Aero (we will provide passenger reviews in a separate section of the article) is considered the national air carrier of Tatarstan, performing regular and charter flights within the country.
To date, the company celebrated its two-year anniversary, however, it is one of the most reliable and popular in the republic. Every day, the management of YuVT Aero Airlines works to increase the level of service on board, introduce new interesting services and expand its fleet. These efforts do not go unnoticed, which confirms the carrier’s consistently high rating among passengers.
Company History
YuVT Aero was founded in Bugulma in April 2015. The company arose on the basis of the disintegrated AK Bars Aero, while almost the entire team and management team became part of the new legal education.
At the time of the founding of the company, the entire block of shares belonged to the Director General of JSC UVT Aero. Now the authorized capital of the organization is about twenty-five million rubles.
After its legal birth, the air carrier was not able to fly its planes into the sky for several more months. And only in the middle of July the first flight of SEW Aero was completed. He was sent from Bugulma, where the head office of the company is located.
A week after the first flight, regular communication with Moscow from Kazan airport was established . To date, air carrier hubs are located in three cities:
It should be clarified that the hubs are hub airports, from which the total mass of departures is carried out, and the company's aircraft are serviced. Typically, the carrier has one hub, but in the case of the Tatar airline there are several. This significantly increases the capabilities of the enterprise, for example, expands the geography of flights.
Aircraft fleet of UWT Aero Airlines
After its formation, the carrier received three airliners from AK Bars Aero. About six months later, the UWT Aero fleet was replenished with three more aircraft. The top-priority plans of the management include the acquisition of eight more aircraft, but at the moment, based on the latest data, we can say that the company owns seven aircraft.
All carrier aircraft are issued by a Canadian company and belong to the same class - Bombardier CRJ200. These fifty-seat airplanes were very fond of the leadership and pilots of UWT Aero. Passenger reviews of flights on these airliners are also always as positive as possible. Therefore, in the future, the company plans to continue working with these aircraft specifically.
The advantages of the Bombardier CRJ200 include a luxury salon and technical features. For example, aircraft of this series can fly in very difficult meteorological conditions or land at high altitude airfields.
It is noteworthy that regular customers of the airline often write in their reviews that they choose it largely thanks to the Bombardier CRJ200. After all, sitting in its seat in the cabin, each passenger feels incredible comfort, and silence during the flight contributes to a good mood of travelers.
Flight geography
YuVT Aero carries out internal charter and regular flights; many departures are carried out from Kazan airport. To date, the airline's route network includes flights to sixteen cities in Russia. However, the airline's management does not stop at this amount. Now work is underway on the development of international routes, so it is possible that in the next summer season, SEW Aero will deliver you to the overseas shores.
Additional services
The airline is also known for providing its customers with a host of additional services. For example, you can use airmail. The cost of such a service ranges from one thousand rubles. Many often flying passengers have already appreciated the opportunity to book a certain place in the cabin for themselves. This makes the flight more comfortable and relaxing.
Also, customers of the company, if necessary, can order for themselves a charter or group transportation. Interestingly, unaccompanied children are allowed on board if all relevant documents are available. This service will cost about three thousand rubles.
Features of check-in for a flight
Recently, passengers increasingly prefer online check-in to conventional. Therefore, companies that offer their customers a similar opportunity are popular. YuVT Aero has its own website where you can not only purchase tickets, but also register for a flight. However, keep in mind that only those people who have purchased a ticket on the official website have access to the service. Otherwise, you will have to check in at the airport on a common basis.
Registration opens a day before the expected departure, and ends three hours before take-off. On the site you can familiarize yourself with the rules that will help passengers choose the right seat in the cabin. For example, those who go on a trip with a child should only fly in places C or D. But a group of passengers consisting of more than nine people will have to check in only at the airport. In online mode, this is not possible.
If you are late and come to the check-in counter after it is closed (this happens approximately forty minutes before departure), then the airline staff can meet you and give extra time. However, this service will cost about two and a half thousand rubles.
Those who check-in online are given the opportunity to choose their place in the cabin on the airliner diagram. At the same time, be sure to keep the selected chair with you.
Connecting flights
It is noteworthy that the airline often operates connecting flights. At this time, the aircraft undergoes a refueling procedure, which can last from one hour to three. At the same time, all passengers must be removed from the passenger compartment and transported to the airport lounge. Baggage usually remains in place; it is not customary to unload it at intermediate airports.
Baggage Allowance
Each air carrier establishes its own rules for carrying baggage on board an aircraft. Therefore, experienced travelers always get to know them in advance. Keep in mind that in the luggage compartment, passengers can carry a bag weighing no more than twenty kilograms for free, but you can take on board baggage that does not exceed five kilograms.
In cases where the company’s client needs to carry valuable cargo with him that cannot be handed over to the luggage compartment, he must buy a seat for him in the cabin. Its cost will be equal to the price of a regular ticket, and the weight should fit into eighty kilograms. In this case, the passenger must take care of all the loading and unloading of this baggage.
It is noteworthy that a group of passengers belonging, for example, to one family, can apply for the distribution of baggage allowances for all travelers. However, in this case, they must confirm with documents that they belong to the same group.
If you know that your luggage will exceed the free norm, then you can solve the problem even at the stage of booking tickets. Keep in mind that an excess of up to thirty-two kilograms is paid at check-in for a flight at the airport (each kilogram costs three hundred rubles). An excess of more than the specified norm should be agreed with the management of the company and only then paid.
Flight with kids
If you go on a trip with a baby who is not yet two years old, then you can carry a stroller with you for free. With a child of this age, you can fly on YuVT Aero airplanes absolutely free of charge, however in this case the baby will be located on the seat with an accompanying adult.
For children under twelve years, parents pay half of the cost of the ticket. The total weight of free baggage for a child is set at fifteen kilograms.
UWT Aero Airlines: reviews
We carefully looked at the comments of passengers flying SEW Aero and were able to analyze them. First of all, they all noted the affordable cost of tickets, while when they are purchased several months before departure, the price will be even lower.
Almost every review contains information about the aircraft itself. It is described with great admiration and recognized as one of the most convenient among existing today.
Also noted are passengers and helpful staff on board airliners. Even on the shortest routes lasting up to one hour, travelers are offered refreshments and sweets.
Punctuality is also included in the list of advantages of UWT Aero Airlines. Most of the customers of the air carrier report that the flights are carried out without delay and according to the schedule.
It is noteworthy that among the many reviews we found only positive ones. This suggests that the company has a great future and in the future it will be able to become a leader in the field of air transportation.
