Rossiya Airlines will focus on the new domestic airliner

Rossiya Airlines will switch to operating only advanced medium-range domestic MC-21 aircraft. This was announced by the General Director of the Aeroflot Group, Sergei Alexandrovsky.

According to him, as the company's fleet is replaced, it is planned to switch to operating only medium-range aircraft. Currently, Rossiya also operates long-range aircraft.

We plan that only MC-21 aircraft in the "economy" and "comfort" class configuration will be operated, currently there is also a business class.
