“The Airbus A320 Family aircraft form the basis of the S7 Airlines fleet. The carrier operates 20 Airbus A319s and 15 Airbus A320s. S7 Airlines joined the oneworld global alliance in November 2010. In accordance with oneworld’s requirements, a part of airlines’ fleet must have the alliance’s livery.
