The Boeings of the Aeroflot fleet , a photo of one of which you will see below, are represented by two models:

1. Boeing B737-800 - designed for flights over medium and long distances. It is considered a wide-body airliner. Boeing aircraft have been manufactured since 1981 - during this period all of their shortcomings were discovered and eliminated, therefore, such airliners are rightfully considered the most reliable and safe. There are 26 units of Boeing B737-800 in the Aeroflot fleet, the oldest of which is 3.7 years old, and the newest - a couple of months. This aircraft model has 138 seats in the economy class and 20 seats in the business category.

Aeroflot Airbuses

Airbus is the largest component of the Aeroflot fleet. We will analyze all the presented models:
