Rusline bombardier crj 100 200 reviews. Rusline Airlines. What aircraft were used at the beginning of activity?

The Bombardier CRJ-100 and CRJ-200 are the first and base models of the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet family of narrow-body jet passenger airliners designed for regional and local airlines. These aircraft were designed by the Canadian aircraft manufacturing company Bombardier Inc. The CRJ-100/200 aircraft were built on the basis of the regional business jet Canadair CL-600 (Bombardier Challenger 600). The main visual difference between the CRJ-100/200 and the Challenger 600 executive aircraft is the fuselage extended by 6.09 meters and a larger wing span.

The CRJ-100/200 aircraft have a monoplane shape with a low-mounted swept wing. The aircraft engines are located in the rear fuselage with a circular cross-section with a diameter of 2.9 meters. The tail unit is “T”-shaped.

Officially, work on the Canadair Regional Jet project began in March 1989, although the company's preliminary studies on the construction of a jet passenger aircraft for local airlines began two years before the announcement of the official program - in 1987.

The first model built was designated CRJ-100. It was equipped with General Electric CF34-3A1 engines with a thrust of 38.84 kN each. The aircraft's cabin allowed it to accommodate 50 passenger seats.

The first flight of the CRJ-100 took place on May 10, 1991. Upon completion of all testing in July 1992, the aircraft received a Canadian airworthiness certificate. And in January of the following year, the CRJ-100 was certified according to American (FAR) and European (JAR) flight standards.

A version was also released with an increased flight range of up to 3,000 kilometers due to a larger fuel supply. This version was designated CRJ-100ER. In 1992, the CRJ-100LR version was released, with a flight range of 3,710 kilometers.

In 1995, Bombardier Inc. presented an improved modification of the aircraft - the CRJ-200, with installed General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofan engines, each of which has a thrust of 38.81 kN. These engines have lower fuel consumption, which made it possible to increase the flight range of the basic version to 2,700 kilometers. Also, thanks to the new engines, the aircraft was able to operate in regions with hot climates and in high altitude conditions. During testing, the Bombardier CRJ-200 showed better flight performance than its predecessor, the CRJ-100. At the same time, the Bombardier CRJ-200 also had a passenger cabin with 50 seats.

The first production CRJ-200 aircraft were delivered on January 15, 1996 to the Austrian air carrier Tyrolean Airways, based in Innsbruck.

Almost immediately after the base model CRJ-200, versions CRJ-200ER and CRJ-200LR were released, with a flight range of 3045 and 3713 kilometers, respectively.

With the advent of new aircraft models CRJ-700 and CRJ-900, production of the CRJ-100 and CRJ-200 versions was suspended. According to official data as of August 2006, a total of 938 CRJ-100 and CRJ-200 aircraft are in operation.

According to passengers, RusLine Airlines has the fastest and most comfortable aircraft in its fleet, which are distinguished by a small cabin and comfortable seats. Since its inception, the carrier has been working to update its fleet, reduce the cost of flights and optimize the official website. Buying tickets for any RusLine planes or checking in online for a flight is a matter of a few minutes. Below we will look at the features of the air fleet, a diagram and photos of airliners, as well as the features of purchasing tickets and online registration on the website.

What aircraft were used at the beginning of the activity?

RusLine is a large airline in the Russian Federation that provides charter and regular flights. The main goal of the work since its inception has been to restore promising route networks within the Russian Federation and CIS countries by organizing flights on small but comfortable aircraft.

The year the operator began its activities is considered to be 1997. Initially, the RusLine airline fleet included aircraft of the YAK-40, YAK-42 and Tu-134 types. VIP flights were also carried out on special airliners. In 2007, the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet aircraft appeared in the RusLine fleet. This was the first experience of using airliners of this brand.

In 2011, regional airliners such as Embraer - 120 appeared in the fleet, and in 2012 - Airbus A-319. Simultaneously with the expansion of the air fleet, new destinations are being added, and the geography of regional and international transportation is expanding. More and more flights to European cities are appearing. Since 2016, a new option has opened on the official RusLine website - passengers have the opportunity to book plane tickets. In the same year, a new platform was launched with adaptation for mobile phones. A mobile application has also been created that gives clients access to many services, including online registration.

RusLine aircraft today

Over the past few years, a lot has changed in the carrier's fleet. Let's look at which RusLine aircraft are used today. There are two types of aircraft used for passenger transportation:

• CRJ-100 ER/LR- a medium-haul airliner, with a crew of 3-4 people and a capacity of 50 passengers. The maximum flight range is about 3000 km, and the maximum speed is 860 km/h. The number of vessels at the carrier’s disposal is 10.
• CRJ-200 ER/LR- another RusLine aircraft with similar characteristics. Minor differences relate to flight range, engines, takeoff and landing distances. The number of such airliners is 8.

As for other aircraft in the fleet of RusLine airlines (in particular, Yak, Airbus and others), they were gradually withdrawn from service and are not in use today. In addition to the mentioned airliners, the carrier’s fleet has several more aircraft:

• Bombardier Challenger 850- an airliner for transporting 10 people (VIP).
• Embraer EMB 120- an aircraft designed for 30 passengers. Quantity - 3 units.

The mentioned RusLine airline planes fly to more than 50 destinations. The base airport is Domodedovo, but additional bases are Roshchino (Tyumen), Koltsovo (Ekaterinburg) and other airports. At the beginning of February, 12 new regular flights appeared in the direction of Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan and other cities of the Russian Federation.

How to buy tickets and register online?

As noted above, one option to buy a RusLine plane ticket or register online is to go to the carrier’s official website. The menu for purchasing travel documents is located on the main page of the site. In special fields you must enter where the flight is from, the final destination, as well as the dates of departure and arrival. After this, indicate the number of adults and press the “Find” button. The system processes the request and provides complete information about available flights for the booked date and upcoming dates. In addition, tariffs are displayed with the cost, as well as existing restrictions, which is very convenient when choosing.

After purchasing tickets, you can register online and select a suitable seat. To do this, you need to study the diagram of the RusLine aircraft and decide on the most suitable seat. By the way, on such aircraft all seats are comfortable. The only exception is the seats located in the back row near the wall of the toilet. There may be a small crowd of people and frequent noise of slamming doors.

Otherwise, the flight on such airliners is characterized by increased comfort, and purchasing a ticket and online check-in takes place within a few minutes. You can print your boarding pass at home and upon arrival at the airport you can immediately board your flight.

Photos of RusLine aircraft

To see for yourself how comfortable your flights are, just look at the photos of the airline’s planes. Solid appearance, soft chairs, compactness, high-quality lighting and convenient shelves for things. There is everything you need for a comfortable flight.

It operates both international and domestic scheduled passenger flights. For domestic flights, a large fleet of small aircraft is used, 15 of them are Bombardier CRJ 200.

It is worth noting that the Bombardier CRJ 200 is a modern narrow-body jet aircraft. This airliner is capable of operating flights in difficult weather conditions, which is important in the harsh winter conditions of continental Russia. The salon accommodates 50 comfortable leather chairs.

Let's take a closer look at the Bombardier CRJ 200 cabin layout and find out where passengers will feel most comfortable during the flight.

Such a diagram can be viewed on the official website utair.ru. As already noted, the configuration provides for 50 passenger seats in a one-class cabin.

Ask an airline employee for advice

If possible, carefully study the diagram of the airliner you will fly on.

Do not take seats where the seats do not recline or are limited in their ability to do so.

Do not take places near toilets, kitchens and other technical rooms at the very end.

1 rub. places B, A and 2 p. seats D, C - The position of the wall and partition of the galley is such that there may not be much legroom. Folding tables are also inserted into one of the armrests, thereby making it immovable. On top of everything else, it’s not very comfortable to watch the entire flight against a wall.

7 rub. - Behind this row there are emergency exits, because of this circumstance, the backs of the seats do not recline or are very limited in this. It may still be cooler in this row.

8 rub. , seats D, A- Despite the fact that this row is located behind the emergency exit, there is not as much legroom there as in wide-body aircraft. Still, it is there. There is no armrest on the door side and this is another inconvenience. It can be quite cold from the door during the flight.

8 rub. , seats C, B - More legroom than other standard seats.

12 rub. - Standard seats, but it will be noisy from the engines.

13 rub. - The engines also create a lot of noise. In addition, the backs of the seats in these seats do not recline and are fixed. The location of the toilet next to it adds to the picture. Passengers will walk past you and form queues, and the sound of the tank may also cause inconvenience.

A couple of general points about the arrangement of seats in the Bombardier CRJ 200 - their disadvantages and advantages.

1. The seats that are located next to the window have the advantage that you can look out of it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the flight time and weather). If you fly at night, this advantage does not count. Also, your neighbor will not bother you if he wants to get up. These places have one drawback - it is not very convenient to leave it yourself. Therefore, if you don’t need to go to the toilet often or you intend to sleep through the entire flight, choose seats by the window.

2. The seats located near the aisle have their own advantage - it is very easy to get up from if you need to go to the toilet.

The disadvantages are that a neighbor may be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with trolleys and passengers who walk through the cabin to the galley and toilets can also interfere. Therefore, if you are flying with a child and, most likely, you will have to go to the toilet often. Or you yourself need to go to the restroom more often, then choose from the edge of the seat.
