The Yak-40D aircraft in VIP configuration (RA-87494) is once again available to charter clients after a four-month hiatus due to maintenance.
During a major scheduled maintenance at the Tulpar Technik production facilities in Kazan, with the assistance of the A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau and Minsk Civil Aviation Plant N407 OJSC, specialists repaired the airframe and modern systems that ensure flight safety.
The aircraft belongs to the company «Солнце» and is included in the operator's certificate of JSC «Vologda Aviation Enterprise». Among clients and brokers, the Yak-40 received the unofficial call sign «Black Lightning», directly related to the aircraft's unique livery. The interior layout of the Yak-40D VIP includes two comfortable cabins separated by a partition.
The first VIP cabin for 5 passengers has a work area for the main passenger and a three-seater sofa, the second business class cabin for 8 seats has a club with a large table and chairs for accompanying persons.
The aircraft is comparable in cabin space to the Challenger 300 and Falcon 900: ceiling height is 1.85m, width is 2.15m (more than the Legacy 650), length is about 7m. The Yak-40D is equipped with a media system with Wi-Fi connectivity. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with two Apple tablets.
