The deficit has forced: Vintage bicalosa Boeing 747 was returned to the sky in the Russian Federation

Boeing-747, nicknamed Jumbo Jet, has been flying since 1969, but then abandoned them because of the high fuel consumption. And because more modern liners appeared. Russia's airline resumed flights to the BOEING-747 double-footed. The first flights were made on a 24-year-old liner between Moscow and Krasnoyarsk on September 22. In general, the Russian Federation, which began problems with air transportation because they stopped supplying modern liners to them, there are nine Jumbo Jet. Atrus reports.

It is reported that in 2022 the carrier was going to stop their operation, but now the plans have changed. For the first 11 years, the plane was used by Japanese Jal, then moved to Transaro, and since 2016 - as part of the air park "Russia". How many aircraft of this type will be returned to the sky, it is not known yet, but it is still about two sides, - said the CEO of the Aeroflot group Sergey Alexandrovsky.

Most likely, they will be disassembled for spare parts within the so -called "aviation cannibalism". Rossia Airlines have reached the VOEING-747 from the Transaro Airlines, but have not been used for regular transportation for regular transportation. It is reported that the ticket from Moscow to Kranarsk will cost 13 thousand rubles (about 5800 UAH). The ticket to the second floor of the Jumbo Jet, in a business class, costs much more: from 122 thousand rubles (about 54 thousand hryvnias).

Boeing-747 is considered a unique plane. It is the first in the history of aircraft building a double -dachable broadcast aircraft. It was created in five years to order Panam. The first flight took place in 1969. The Boeing Concern intended to produce Jumbo Jet for 10 years, since the market was only needed by about 400 such machines, and they would soon be converted into freight, as the market of passenger air transportation will win supersonic aircraft. As a result, more than 1.

5 thousand aircraft of this type were released. As of January 1, 2024, only five airlines operate 50 Jumbo Jet, but newer modifications are 747-400 and 747-8. Most Jumbo Jet in the German Airline Lufthansa - 27 pieces. In the Air China fleet-ten Boeing-747 different modifications. These planes are also available in Korean Air, Emirates, Asiana Airlines and Saudia. In July 2020, Bloomberg reported that Boeing would stop production of Boeing 747 aircraft in 2022.

The reason for this is a significant reduction in recent years of orders for this model and the losses associated with production. In addition, the four -engine Boeing 747 loses in economy and operating costs to modern two -engine liners.

In September 2022, Israel announced that since March 2023, the country will be prohibited from the flights of aircraft of this model, after a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the West countries have imposed a number of sanctions on the aggressor country, including forbidding the supply of accessories for aircraft. Because of this, Russia is forced to look for alternatives.
