Transaero plans to acquire А380s 5 years later. It has been stated by CEO of the airline, Olga Pleshakova, in her interview to Kommersant. AEX.ru

«At present we have 71 aircraft in our fleet and most of them are wide-body jets. Of course we are considering Airbus А380 and Boeing 747–800 aircraft in the network of our development, since at present they are the most advanced and the largest ones», - said Pleshakova.

«We are already negotiating actively and I think that both of these jets will join our fleet in the next several years», - she underlined. Today the airline operates Boeing 737s, 747s, 767s, 777s and Тu-214s.

We remind you that installation and testing of new double-deck passenger boarding bridge for A380 is being carried out in Moscow Domodedovo airport, from where most of the airline’s flights are departed. The work should be completed in spring 2012. In addition, the airport already has permission for servicing A380s.

According to some sources, Emirates will be the first airline to perform flights from Domodedovo using A380 aircraft.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
