Transaero Airlines CEO Olga Pleshakova said: "When developing the interior design of our A380s we strived to make full use of the advantages of this type of aircraft. The unique passenger capacity provides for very comfortable conditions for passengers. When creating the new configuration we referred to Transaero's extensive positive experience of operating aircraft with 522 seat capacity. I am certain the first A380 aircraft in the Russian market will be very popular among our clients, both on domestic and on international routes. The launch of their operation will become a new step in the development of Russian commercial aviation." [more - original PR] [more - original PR - Russian] [more - original PR - German]
