At the same time, the airline continues to develop its domestic interregional transportation programme. We are glad that all new routes are in demand among passengers,” notes Igor Veretennikov, the Commerce Director of S7 Group.
In April, the passengers of S7 Airlines got the opportunity to consult online with the chatbot via Facebook Messenger on the Facebook page of the airline. The chatbot is ready to answer your questions about available tickets for S7 Airlines flights, choose a city for travelling using specified parameters and provide the information on the flight status.

Last month, S7 Airlines became the general carrier of the Total Dictation event for the third time. On 14 April 2018 passengers of three S7 Airlines flights took part in Total Dictation, the annual educational event, and checked their knowledge right in the middle of the flight becoming participants of the relay at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The passengers wrote the text of the dictation by Guzel Yakhina, the famous Russian writer, in all the time zones of the project, from the Far East to Europe.
