On June 24, Rossiya Airlines has opened a new comfort class of service on flights operated by Superjet 100 aircraft from Krasnoyarsk Airport. When choosing a new fare, passengers are provided with improved flight conditions at an affordable price, the press service of the carrier said.
The Comfort fare includes priority check-in at the airport and post-flight procedures, increased baggage allowance, an extended in-flight catering menu and front-row seating with extra space between seats. Passengers with children are offered children's amenity kits for a more exciting flight.
“The optimal choice of the percentage of seats in the Comfort fare to the number of economy class seats made it possible to ensure efficient loading of liners without reducing the carrying capacity of aircraft, while balancing supply and demand in this segment of the air transportation market,” the airline noted.
The new fare is offered on fifteen Superjet 100 aircraft. Comfort Class passengers occupy the first three rows of Economy Class, where seating is 34 inches apart. On flights lasting more than three hours, a choice of hot meals, several types of juices and spirits, as well as baked goods, snacks and desserts are offered. On short flights up to 2 hours - snack. If the flight time is from 2 to 3 hours - a sandwich, juice, water, coffee, tea, as well as sweet carbonated drinks.
The Comfort tariff also includes the provision of a special amenity kit for children from 3 to 11 years old. Both packages offered are given to young passengers depending on their age and according to their hobbies and needs. The sets combine traditional crayons and coloring books, as well as augmented reality elements for a more interesting immersion of the child in the game during the flight.
“Given the high demand for the Comfort tariff, Rossiya has decided to open additional opportunities on flights operated from Aeroflot Group's largest air transport hub in Eastern Siberia. At the first stage, the Comfort class of service will be available on the Krasnoyarsk – Yekaterinburg flight, the offer will also be valid for flights abroad – to the Kyrgyz cities of Osh and Bishkek. In other directions of the route network of the carrier from Krasnoyarsk, flights are currently operated on liners of other types,” the press service said.
Earlier, on Superjets, the airline offered passengers improved conditions on flights operated from the carrier's base airport in St. Petersburg. In the two weeks since the introduction of the tariff, the airlines have noted a stable demand for a new product among passengers.
On June 24, the airline announced the arrival of the next, already 71st SSJ100 aircraft in the fleet. This is an aircraft with tail number RA-89026, he received the name of the city in the Vologda region - Totma.
