S7 Airlines

Based in Novosibirsk (Siberia), S7 is probably the most progressive of the Russian airlines which emerged from the splitting up of Aeroflot.

S7 - Siberia Airlines

With a massive fleet of over 60 aircraft (and 49 more on order), S7 operate both scheduled services and charters from four major hubs in Russia at Novosibirsk, Moscow Domodedovo, Irkutsk and Chelyabinsk. Most of the routes reflect demand for outbound traffic from Russia but they also operate to four German cities, these are: Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. They also have a growing number flights to Central Asian destinations including: Almaty, Pavlodar and Ust-Kamenogorsk (Kazakhstan), Bishkek and Osh (Kyrgyzstan), Dushanbe and Khujand, (Tajikistan), Ashgabat (Turkmenistan) plus Tashkent and Urgench (Uzbekistan).

S7 have been operating western aircraft along side their fleet of Ilyushin and Tupolevs since 2004.As new aircraft are delivered the older Ilushin II-86 aircraft will be withdrawn from service.

S7 Airlines - great livery!

Having personally flown with this dynamic Russian airline when it was flying under the brand of Siber airlines we can thoroughly recommend them. The new funky S7 brand an innovative colour scheme makes them stand out form the crowd at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport – which incidentally is 1000 times better than the inevitable battle to get through Sheremetyevo.
