Ural Airlines aircraft fleet. How to choose the best seats on Ural Airlines planes? Flight classes for passengers

OJSC Ural Airlines- a domestic air carrier that is among the top five largest airlines Russia. In 2016, almost 6.5 million people used the organization’s services, and the geography of flights covers more than 250 different destinations. Every year new flights appear to cities in the CIS, Russian Federation and foreign countries. The main airports are Domodedovo (Moscow) and Koltsovo (Ekaterinburg). The official website of the Ural Airlines company is www.uralairlines.ru (formerly www.uralairlines.сom).

Short story

The era of the organization began in 1943, when the Sverdlovsk United Air Squadron was formed, which included the local Koltsovo airport (at that time it was a base for Aeroflot aircraft). Activities as a separate company started in 1993 - it was then that the aviation squadron was divided into two structures independent from each other - the airport and the aviation company.

A responsible approach to work and renewal of the aircraft fleet led to an increase in passenger traffic, the official website of Ural Airlines appeared, and an automatic check-in system was introduced. In 2016, the carrier received the Wings of Russia award in several categories. One of the proofs of the quality of services provided is the increasing passenger traffic.

One of the prides of the organization is Gym, designed for pilot training. All equipment is configured for Airbus 320 type aircraft. With the help of such a simulator it is possible to solve a number of problems:

Improve pilot skills.
Train people according to personal programs.
Increase flight safety.

In 2015, information appeared about the imposition of sanctions on the company by Ukraine. The “package” includes blocking assets, stopping payments, and restricting flights across the country.

Management and fleet

The success of the air carrier is largely due to the people who are at the helm of the organization. Today, the management of the Ural Airlines airline is carried out by:

Director of Production Zinoviev A.V.
Commercial Director Skuratov K.S.
General Director Skuratov S.N.

As of 2017, the Ural Airlines fleet includes 41 aircraft, namely:

Airbus A319 - 7.
Airbus A320 - 23.
Airbus A321 - 11

Previously, the air fleet had domestically produced aircraft - Il-86, Tu-154 and 134, An-24 and 12.

Official website of the Ural Airlines company

The carrier's management is aware of the importance of introducing modern technologies, simplifying the process of registration, booking and purchasing tickets. For this reason, the official website of Ural Airlines OJSC was developed - uralairlines.ru. This is a multifunctional online platform where each user can get complete information about the activities, services, promotions and offers of carriers.

The official website has several sections:

Your flight. Here you can register online, buy a ticket, find out the schedule, look at the online scoreboard and study a special offer.
Information. Using this section, you can cover the lack of knowledge regarding the rules of transportation and transportation of luggage, the features of ordering a charter and even renting a car. You can also find out contacts, history, flight map and many other features of the airline.
Bonus programs. www.uralairlines.ru provides information about current bonus programs, opportunities for accumulating and spending available funds, and special offers are considered.

There are customer support and Shop subsections where you can purchase “Wings” bonuses, order additional meals or a flight certificate. Here you can also book a hotel or rent a car.

Reviews

Today many people ask which airline is better - S7 or Ural Airlines. It is worth noting that any assessment is subjective and is based solely on the cost and range of services, as well as the opinions of real passengers.

The best “indicator” of quality is reviews of Ural Airlines for 2017, which are both positive and negative.

Among the advantages of an air carrier, people highlight:

The friendliness of the flight attendants.
Great service.
Cleanliness in the salon.
More low price(when compared with S7 or Aeroflot).
Excellent condition of the liners

Meet and negative reviews about Ural Airlines. The following points stand out:

Frequent departure time changes and delays.
Inconvenient location of the seats (if you are over 180 cm tall, your knees rest against the seat).
Lack of timely response to complaints.

If we compare Ural Airlines with other carriers, the level of service here is lower. Against this background, you have to be prepared for certain inconveniences in the range of services provided, the condition of the vessels and the quality of food.

Simferopol - Moscow, U6 10, 21.07. Gone online registration on a convenient website a day before the flight, choosing the best seats. At first, all flights except ours were delayed,...

Closer to the flight, it turned out that ours was delayed by 30 minutes. We sat at the airport from 13:00 (for some reason we arrived so early ourselves), and saw how flight 576, about which there are negative reviews below, was delayed. That's right, it was a mistake to choose UA flights, you should have chosen Aeroflot, then you would have been delayed not for 2 hours that day, but for 4!!! On this day, the Aeroflot flight to Moscow was delayed by 4 (!!!) hours, and not 2, like yours. Only Aeroflot has one positive reviews, but here there are only negative ones)) UA flights to Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk took off before us, with a maximum delay of an hour. We took the “Promo” fare, which was enough because: a) we know how to read what is written about luggage when purchasing a ticket. If a person stuffed ~23 ~32 kg of things and souvenirs into a bag, took the “Promo” rate, and then minus UA regarding the additional payment for luggage - well, you should minus yourself, not the company. Or do you want to be provided with a personal airplane carpet for 6 thousand rubles? b) we turned for help to the UA counters, behind which there were girls who generally should have been busy with other things, and not answering our questions - the girls helped with a smile, did not say “we don’t give information, we are registering an advantage” (I would That’s probably what I would have answered myself =))), but they helped us by saying that if there are two tickets for one order, then the baggage is summed up. This saved us from partially emptying the suitcase. By the way - in the airport of Simferopol great amount counters and machines for self-check-in for flights from UA, no other company is represented in such a volume at the port - this is definitely a plus, you just have to use it, and it’s better for people to strain and blame others so as not to strain themselves. The flight itself: The last time I flew on Transaero was (yes, a long time ago) on a two-story Boeing (I don’t know the model) with 4 turbines. So then it shook more strongly than on Airbus 320 UA, which was flying on this flight. We gained altitude in 5 minutes, I didn’t feel any discomfort at all (I attribute it to the fact that the seats were above the wing - we chose these ourselves, thanks to convenient online registration a day in advance - again, a plus of UA), the same thing happened during landing. Disadvantages of the flight: - inadequate passengers who stood up during the climb to put their luggage upstairs - that's right, it's time. We taxied along the runway for 15 minutes, but it was necessary to put the bag on top precisely when gaining altitude - and they made such a dissatisfied face when the captain shouted in shock over the communication “Sit down”, as if he was forced to shovel manure. Passengers who ignored requests to remove all electronic devices and headphones during takeoff/landing. Passengers who, during a two-hour flight, managed to find a reason to clarify something with the flight attendants and drive them crazy. Passengers who didn't even bother to thank the ship's captain for a wonderful flight. (judging by his voice, the captain was young, but he really loves his job, and I even felt very sorry for him that no one thanked him with applause or upon leaving). Passengers who started filming pre-flight briefings with a mobile phone camera and thereby made the flight attendant nervous (can you send me links to YouTube with such videos?). Of course, the staff is not ironclad, some react calmly, some don’t, but not a single girl steward gave in or lost her temper, at least she didn’t show it - a plus to the staff. I couldn’t do that, it seems to me that I would start to be rude to such citizens, because it is the staff who are responsible for the lives of the people who are sitting inside iron cans at an altitude of 9 thousand km. And people themselves interfere with all their might.... They get up at takeoff, thinking that the rule of sitting with your seat belt fastened is bullshit for losers, or something. But it would be worth opening a physics textbook (not even aerodynamics) and remembering that this is not so; they don’t turn off electrical devices that can create fields, thinking that this is nonsense - but this is not nonsense guys, all the fields are calculated, and any displacement of one of the vector of fields used for aircraft technology, even minimal, can lead to disaster. Yes, the passengers didn’t care. The main thing is your comfort, and not the life of 100 people in an iron can called an airplane. RESULT - I give the airline a 9. I give it to 3 passengers of the company (of course, not everyone behaved like that, but this is the first time I’ve seen that they didn’t clap when boarding). The only reason for me not to fly on UA anymore is the passengers. I have no idea what this is connected with, maybe the price attracts inadequate people? I bet 100500 to the pilot of the plane. He apologized for the delay due to the late arrival at the port of Simferopol (I’m more than sure that it was due to passengers who didn’t have time / got drunk / think that everyone should wait for them - and the pilot apologizes), but compensated with a quick flight (2 were supposed to fly: 15, flew 2:05) Pilots are heroic people. They take responsibility for the lives of people who are trying in every possible way to prevent the pilots from saving it. Just for the love of work. I respect you. An airplane is an airplane like an airplane, you can see that it flies, nothing more. Airbus 320 is my favorite so far. Luggage - not lost, not stolen, waited about 10 minutes. This was the situation on our flight. And by the way, no expired chokopaev. All the best, don't be snobs, clap for the pilots when they land. P.S. oh they will downvote this review I feel it

Airline Ural Airlines reviews

Today there is an incredible number of aviation companies engaged in the transportation of passengers and cargo. In this article we will talk about the Ural Airlines aircraft fleet and the company as a whole. If you are about to take your first flight on a plane of this airline, then you probably have a question about what fleet of aircraft Ural Airlines has.

Aviation company "Ural Airlines"

"Ural Airlines" - company Russian Federation, which appeared on the market for transporting goods and passengers quite a long time ago. In 1993, Sverdlovsk aviation enterprise officially divided into airport and airline. It was at that moment that the Ural Airlines company appeared.

The company is engaged not only in passenger transportation, but also in cargo transportation. In addition, the list of airline functions includes reservations and ticket sales, maintenance and repair work carried out on aircraft.

Ural Airlines is a company included in the TOP 10 best aviation companies in Russia in terms of cargo and passenger traffic. Main base aviation company is located in Yekaterinburg and in Moscow it can be found at the main airports: Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo.

Ural Airlines, starting in 2006, launched a program to update and completely re-equip aircraft airlines. It was extremely necessary measure. Today, the Ural Airlines aircraft fleet includes forty-two foreign-made aircraft (Airbus) and includes:

Tu-154M;
(twenty-three liners);
Airbus A320 (twelve aircraft);
(seven liners).

There is a prospect for expanding the fleet of Ural Airlines aircraft by replenishing it with a long-haul airliner with a wide fuselage - the Airbus 330.

Classes of service

You can choose from five classes of service provided by Ural Airlines and its fleet of aircraft.

Promo. Passengers of this class of service are accommodated in the economy class area with standard seats. You will be provided with non-alcoholic chilled drinks, meals and the latest newspapers.

Business standard. A separate salon with the most comfortable chairs, blankets, pillows, and hand wipes. The diet has been expanded, not only soft drinks, but also alcohol are allowed.

Today, many passengers are interested in how to choose best places on Ural Airlines planes. This question is especially relevant when it comes to a long flight (4-5 hours or more). In such a situation, it is important to take a conveniently located chair, because sitting near the toilet, close to the wall or near a closed porthole is not entirely comfortable.

Below we will look at how to choose the best seats for the three main aircraft of Ural Airlines:

Airbus A319-100 - 7.
Airbus A320-200 - 23.
Airbus A321-200 - 12.

Despite the fact that all aircraft are of the same brand, the cabin layout varies to some extent. Let's consider each of the liners separately.

The best seats on the A 319 Ural Airlines plane

The Airbus A319-100 aircraft is represented by seven aircraft. The aircraft configuration includes eight business class seats and 126 seats in the economy class section.

When choosing the best seat on the Ural Airlines A319, consider the following recommendations (by row):

First. Despite the fact that it belongs to business class, the seats have a big drawback - the presence of a partition in front of the eyes. The only advantage is that the carrier left sufficient legroom. It is impossible not to note another disadvantage, which is the presence of a restroom in close proximity.
Third. This is the 1st row of the economy class cabin. As in the previous case, there will be a partition in front of the eyes. Only not rigid, but in the form of a curtain separating economy and business class. Pros - ample legroom, no front passenger. The downside is that the armrests are rigidly fixed due to the presence of a folding table.
Ninth- row near the emergency exit. Often the backs of these seats do not recline or their movement is limited.

“Please note that in rows three to ten, the distance between the seats is slightly greater. “In addition, food is carried from the head of the plane, so passengers are better off in that part of the cabin.”

Tenth. Here are the best seats on Ural planes Airbus airlines A319. There is an emergency exit in front of them, which eliminates the lack of legroom. In addition, there are no seats for other passengers in the front, which is also a big plus. The downside is that passengers with animals and children cannot sit here. In addition, hand luggage cannot be placed under the seat.
Twenty-second and twenty-third- the most bad places due to the proximity to the restroom. So during the flight there will be people constantly walking near you. And the likelihood of unpleasant “odors” is also high.

The best seats on Ural Airlines A 320 planes

The carrier's largest aircraft is the Airbus A320-200. As in the airliner discussed above, there are two types of cabins - economic and business. The first has 12 seats, the second has 144.

When choosing the best seat on the Ural Airlines A320, consider the following recommendations (by row):

From first to third- rows where passengers who have purchased business class seats are located. The disadvantage of the first is the presence of a wall in front of the eyes, and the 3rd is that it is close to the economy class.
Fourth- 1st row for economy class. Due to the greater distance of the dividing partition, passengers have more legroom. In addition, no one in front will lower the backrest and create additional discomfort. The downside is that the folding table is built into the armrest, so moving the latter is impossible.
Ninth. There is an emergency exit behind it, so the seat backs may not be completely reclined. If the flight is long-distance, this creates a lot of discomfort.
Tenth. Here you won’t be able to throw back the seat backs either, but you can stretch your legs. Please note that due to the draftiness of this part of the plane, it can be chilly. So it’s worth stocking up on a blanket in advance.
Eleventh- here are the best places Airbus Airbus Industrie A320 of Ural Airlines. Pros include more legroom and the ability to recline the seat backs. But there is also a minus - one of the armrests is located on the porthole side, which brings certain inconveniences.
Last two rows (26 and 27) located at the rear of the aircraft, near the bathrooms. Cons - constant noise, passenger movement and possibly unpleasant odors. These are far from the best seats on the A320, so they should be chosen as a last resort.

The best seats on Ural Airlines A 321 aircraft

The peculiarity of the aircraft is that they have one configuration designed for 220 people. All seats are located in the economy class cabin.

When choosing the best seat on the Ural Airlines Airbus A321, consider the following points (by row):

First. The main disadvantages of the chairs are the presence of a partition in front, proximity to the kitchen and toilet. One of the advantages is that there are no passengers in front, so no one will throw the backrest on their legs and create discomfort. But there are also advantages - more space for the knees, which is of great importance during a long flight.
Tenth row located directly in front of the emergency exit. Therefore, you can’t count on reclining seat backs. This is done from a safety position so that in the event of an emergency the exit is not blocked. So passengers in this row are forced to sit upright for the entire flight.
Eleventh has a number of advantages. There is additional space here. In addition, there are only two seats on one side, which is ideal for flying as a couple. Cons - lack of a porthole, fixed armrests, inability to place hand luggage under the seat and a ban on purchasing tickets for these seats for passengers with animals or children. If you analyze all the positive and negative qualities, these are the best seats on Ural Airlines Airbus Industrie A321 aircraft.
Seats in the twelfth row(A and F) are distinguished by the presence of additional space.
IN twenty-sixth row You can also stretch your legs and even stand up. But the shortcomings are the same, even in the eleventh row.
In row 37 location D you will be close to the toilets. The same problem applies to row 38. In addition, there is one more disadvantage - the inability to recline the back due to the presence of a wall at the back.

The given diagrams Airbus aircraft The A319, A320 and A321 will help you choose the best seats on the Airbus and handle your flight with dignity.
