In recent years, the air transportation market has undergone major changes. Several monopolistic companies were replaced by small carriers engaged in domestic and even international transportation. Alrosa Airlines also belongs to this category.
Airline "Alrosa": the story of the appearance
JSC "Alrosa Airlines" began its history forty years ago. During this period, she belonged to the airline of the city of Mirny and carried out air transportation throughout the territory of Yakutia. In 1995, when there were serious changes in the country, the airline was transformed into AK Alrosa. Eight years later, the company became a separate company - the airline "Alrosa", which has been successfully operating to this day.
Based in the city of Mirny, the main airfield is also located there. The second most important airport for Alrosa is located in the city of Polar. In addition to these two, the company owns five more airports in different cities of the country. Now the activities of the air carrier have crossed the borders of Yakutia in the field of civil transportation.
Directions
Nevertheless, the airline carries out most flights throughout Yakutia, but it flies to the CIS countries, Europe and Asia. Mostly these are charter flights. Now Alrosa has more than twenty-two different directions of civilian air transportation. On the most popular of the routes you can always find feedback. What kind of reviews does Alrosa (airline) have about itself? Tomsk, Anapa, Moscow - the most passengers in these directions. And it is this Russian air operator that is always ready to deliver Yakut passengers to the capital of our Motherland, as well as to the most popular sea resorts. According to the internal policy of Alrosa (airline), passenger reviews are never left without attention. Management carefully checks all comments and takes serious measures if necessary. All this testifies to the seriousness of the air carrier and responsibility to its customers.
In addition to passenger flights, Alrosa also provides freight for oil, mining and diamond mining enterprises. Thanks to the company's aircraft, machinery, equipment and food are delivered to remote areas. In this industry, the airline has been a monopolist for many years.
In addition to various air transportation, Alrosa is engaged in aircraft repair and other aerial work. Many smaller companies operate thanks to the masters of Alrosa.
Alrosa (airline): fleet reviews
Initially, all the “winged property” of the company consisted of inherited aircraft of the Mirny city airline. The number of aircraft was small, but gradually the fleet expanded significantly and now has fifty-three airliners. In addition to them, Alrosa owns twenty-nine helicopters, which are simply necessary for cargo transportation. Almost all helicopters are Mi-24 and the famous Mi-8.
A few years ago, most Alrosa aircraft had a very respectable age of more than thirty years. But now management has bought many new airliners, including the Boeing 737. This has significantly increased the comfort of flying over long distances. From that moment, Alrosa passengers began to leave reviews about the company much more often, and most of them were positive.
In addition to ordinary passengers, the first persons of Yakutia also leave their reviews on the official website. The airline "Alrosa" provides all the transportation of the leaders of the region and the heads of large commercial enterprises investing in the economy of Yakutia.
Service Aspects
Most of the comments on the Alrosa website are passenger reviews about flight comfort and maintenance. Among the many texts there are laudatory and abusive, thanks to this, everyone can make their own opinion about the carrier.
I would like to note that all the liners of the company are very comfortable. Airfare includes meals. It has several options and meets the most stringent requirements. Passenger service is carried out according to two programs - business class and economy.
For business class passengers there is a wide range of choices for alcoholic beverages and fruits, standard meals include several options to choose from. The economy class is presented more modestly - passengers receive two types of food and soft drinks in the form of juices and mineral water.
For those who do not often fly Alrosa flights, reviews about the work of flight attendants may seem quite intimidating. But in fact, all claims of passengers are related to the age of employees. The fact is that the airline takes its staff very seriously and does not welcome young people without work experience. Therefore, almost all employees on aircraft are over the age of thirty-five.
Alrosa (airline): reviews on baggage rules
The baggage rules adopted by the company are not much different from the standard in Russia. Each passenger can take cabin baggage with him to the cabin. Its weight should not exceed five kilograms. For business class passengers, carry up to two pieces of hand luggage.
The weight of baggage handled in the cargo compartment should not exceed twenty kilograms. The business class service program provides for up to thirty kilograms of luggage.
In addition, each passenger can carry bags and suitcases in the cabin, paying for them separately. This is provided by airline rules. The general list of prohibited items is identical to international standards.
It is worth noting that among all the comments on the Alrosa website, reviews of the airline related to baggage restrictions and rules are close to zero. Almost all passengers are satisfied with these rules and perceive them adequately.
Additional services of the airline "Alrosa"
At the moment, “Alrosa” can not boast of a large number of additional bonus services. These include a separate check-in desk at Moscow Domodedovo Airport and free aeroexpress. The latter service is available only for passengers flying to Moscow from Mirny and Polyarny. They can take the express train and get to the Paveletsky station in forty minutes.
Promotions and bonuses from the company "Alrosa"
Like many other major air carriers, Alrosa quite often carries out promotions and sales of airline tickets. The company does not yet have its own bonus program, but it actively cooperates with various search engines for airline tickets on the Internet. The points accumulated for the purchase of any tickets on a particular search site can also be used as payment for airline tickets on routes operated by Alrosa. It is quite profitable and convenient for passengers. Especially for those who, by the nature of their professional activities, are often forced to fly outside of Yakutia. On the official website of the airline "Alrosa" reviews of employees of commercial enterprises, who often use the services of this carrier, always differ in a positive color and expression of gratitude for a comfortable flight.
How to buy tickets for Alrosa flights?
You can buy tickets on routes operated by Alrosa in many places. It is most convenient to make a purchase through Internet sites, they always provide a wide selection of tickets for different dates. In order to make the purchase as profitable as possible, it is necessary to start searching for an air ticket two to three months before the expected departure. This will allow you to choose the lowest price, especially if the flight is connecting.
Alrosa Airlines is one of the most responsible employers in Yakutia
I would like to talk about the largest supplier of jobs in Yakutia, which Alrosa Airlines has been for several years. Employer reviews can always be viewed on the company's official website. Most of them have a pronounced enthusiastic color, because all the inhabitants of Mirny who work on the Alrosa routes are simply in love with their work.
Each employee of the airline always receives wages on time, has a number of benefits and free travel to the vacation spot by Alrosa liners. Competition for one vacant place is always more than ten people. This is due to the special policy of the air carrier in relation to its personnel. It is built on the desire to assemble a highly professional team and provide him with working conditions that cannot be obtained elsewhere. It is worth noting that the airline management did it one hundred percent.
Airline "Alrosa" can be safely attributed to the most dynamically developing young companies. Moreover, it occupies this place not only among the major air carriers of Yakutia, but also throughout Russia as a whole. If you plan to visit the city of Mirny or another district of this harsh region - definitely buy tickets from Alrosa. You will enjoy a comfortable flight and pleasant service provided by attentive stewardesses.
