Aeroflot A350s and 777s spearhead 3-year expansion
Aeroflot Group is nearing delivery of its first Airbus A350-900, a central part of the Russian operator’s fleet modernisation and international expansion strategy for the next 3 years. It will receive its first 316-seat Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-powered A350 at the end of this month, gradually using the twinjet type to replace its A330s. Aeroflot’s fleet plan indicates the introduction of 22 A350s by 2023, as it reduces its A330-300 and -200 fleet to 3 aircraft over the same interval. The carrier claims the A350 will “inaugurate the next level of seat-mile cost” for the company. While Aeroflot originally ordered 22 A350s it subsequently reduced the order to 14 – the current figure – after cutting 8 A350-800s. <br/>
