Azur Air was founded in 2015, part of its shares is owned by Anex Group. Until 2015, the airline was called "Katekavia" it carried out its flights in the Siberian and Volga regions. Currently, this company specializes in charter flights to different countries and popular resorts. In June 2017, the airline operated about 38 flights from various Russian cities.

In just six months at the beginning of 2017, Azur Air was able to win a place of honor in terms of the number of passengers who used the services of this company. But back in 2016, it won the title of the best charter carrier in Russian Federation and received the Wings of Russia award. Azur Air constantly monitors its flights and monitors the precise fulfillment of the duties of employees, not only in the performance of their duties, but also makes sure that they strictly follow the schedule. Thanks to this control, the company was able to win second place as the most punctual airline in Russia.

In this article we want to tell you about the Boeing 767-300. Azur Air has 8 such aircraft in its fleet. The Boeing 767-300 is a wide-body long-haul airliner. The liner began to be produced in the 80s. Despite its age, this airliner is still popular and in demand among airlines. At one time, the Boeing 767 was the first commercial aircraft with a digital display and a fully electronic cockpit.

Main differences this aircraft in that it is very roomy, can cover long flight distances and at the same time it does not require expensive maintenance. The airliner is perfect for long-haul flights with a high flow of passengers.

Features Boeing 767-300

The length of the aircraft is 54.9 meters. In this case, the wingspan is 47.6 meters. The engine brand is Rolls Royce RB211-524, it allows the aircraft to develop a maximum speed of 913 kilometers per hour, the speed full aircraft is 825 kilometers per hour. Boeing 767-300 is capable of flying 11 thousand kilometers, and on board it can accommodate from 180 to 375 passengers. The crew of the aircraft consists of only two people. The first tests were carried out back in 1981, and in 1982 the 767-300 entered production.

Boeing 767-300 has three rows seats, there are two passages between them. In a single-class seat layout, a 2+4+2 layout is used. The entire salon is divided into three zones. The company also has seats that are calculated at a different rate. Such seats are usually the very first in each cabin area, and they are also considered the most comfortable on the plane, as they have more free space in front than other rows.

Above you can see the scheme of the Boeing 767-300 aircraft, on it you can see in more detail the cabin of the aircraft and the places in it. The most comfortable seats are row 1, 14, 16, 32 and 33. But only those seats that are ahead of the rest of the seats. And the rest of the places, as a rule, are no different from others. Due to the fact that the places are very different, we decided to tell you about the salon areas. There are three of them in total, and it is precisely from the choice of a part of the cabin that your comfort in the future flight will depend.

The nose of the aircraft

There are 12 rows in this part, the first row can be attributed to places with increased comfort but they are more expensive than other places. In total, 91 passengers can be accommodated in the first part. bow is always preferred over the others, and there are a number of reasons for this.

• Firstly. This zone is the smallest in comparison with others, therefore, it is quieter and calmer in it than in other parts of the cabin.
• Secondly. The exit from the cabin is much closer and due to this you will not have to wait long for your turn to exit after the plane has landed.
• Thirdly. You don't hear the engine running as much as it is located at a decent distance from your seats.
• Fourth. The kitchen is located in the first part of the cabin, therefore, you will be served faster than other passengers.
• And fifthly. In the nose of the aircraft you can see great view out of the window.

But there are a few bad seats in the cabin, when checking in, avoid seats in row 11 and 12, as they are located closest to the toilet stalls. Because of this, some places cannot recline their seats, and there will always be a queue for the toilet next to you.

The middle part of the aircraft

In the middle of the aircraft are rows 14 to 31. In total, they can accommodate 134 passengers. The 14th row is more comfortable than all the others, but they ask for a certain surcharge for it, and this row also has limitations:

• Pregnant women should not be placed on them.
• Disabled people also cannot occupy these seats.
• Also, children under the age of majority cannot be placed in these places.
• Must also be fluent in English or Russian

This part of the cabin has a big minus. Almost the entire middle part of the cabin is located between the wings, and because of this, the view from the windows is very limited.

The tail section of the aircraft

There are 111 seats here, and this part of the aircraft is considered less comfortable than all the others. If you have chosen seats in the tail section of the cabin, then you should prepare for a lot of noise from the engine, since it is closest to you and if the aircraft enters the turbulence zone, the tail section will shake more than the rest of the aircraft, which can cause a lot of noise. get scared.

Also, the worst seats in this part of the plane are considered to be the last ones in a row, since they are also located near the toilet cubicles. You have already read about the inconvenience of these places in the nose of the aircraft.

Boeing 767-300 - aircraft long distance, developed in the early 1980s, the successor to the Boeing 767-200 and the basis for the 767-400. In total, it accommodates 278 economy seats and 12 business class seats, the distance between seats is 57 centimeters in the entire economy class and 105 cm in business class.

Boeing 767 is one of the highest quality and safest airliners in the world. Studies by international companies show that the layout of seats in the Boeing 767 400 cabin, the layout of the cabin, best places most accurately respond to the needs and expectations of passengers. Most of the seats are located either by the aisle or by the window. And only one line, in the center of the cabin, has no access to either the porthole or the aisle.

And now let's talk directly about the best places in the salon. The photo shows a layout of the Boeing 767 Icarus cabin, according to which we will navigate to select the most comfortable seats.

So, in total we have 3 classes:

• Business Class;
• premium economy class;
• tourist economy class.

Which share 6 lines (A - G) and 42 rows (1-42)

This is the most expensive flight option, but it is rightfully called the most comfortable. Although even here you can choose the best of the best. And that honorary title goes to the front row seats on lines G and F, because in addition to all the benefits of business class, they also have increased legroom and are away from technical premises, which means no one will walk over your head.

Any business class seat will be more comfortable than an economy class seat, regardless of the row you get.

Business class photo

Premium economy class

In other words, places increased comfort. It differs from the business class mainly in the density of seating and, of course, in service. The best places Traditionally, the seats of the 10th (front) row are considered. Despite being the closest to the aisle to the other side of the aircraft, they do have a space advantage - much larger than similar seats. Near these places there are no technical premises (toilet, kitchen), which means that the flow of people passing by is less.

Tourist economy class

This class has many features that distinguish it from the other two. Here is the highest density of seats and the most uncomplicated service, the most low price for tickets plus the most uncomfortable flight.

It is very difficult to choose the best seats here, but it is easy to identify those that are clearly not worth buying - last row tickets. There are a lot of technical rooms right behind these places.(several toilets, luggage department), which means that someone will constantly walk over your head. Of the advantages, only the shortest distance to emergency exit from the entire tourist economy class. But we sincerely hope that you will never need such an advantage.

• Seats located near the window have the advantage that if you are bored, then you can look out the window. As a rule, breathtaking landscapes open from it, but this depends on the weather and flight time;
• armchairs that are closer to the aisle win in that if you need to move away, then you should not wake up your neighbor and ask you to let you through. This means they are free to move. True, then you will be asked to let your neighbor through, and they will also constantly walk down the aisle, which may bother you;
• in any case, try not to take seats near technical rooms - passengers passing by will constantly interfere with you;
• if during the flight there is no need to get up and out of the chair often, then you can safely take a seat by the porthole. If you are flying with a child or you have other reasons that will make you leave your seat more than once, it is more profitable to take seats near the aisle.

Summarize

The layout of the cabin in the Boeing 767 300 Pegasus Fly is designed in such a way that the best seats are in front. Without a doubt, the most comfortable seats are business class, which in any case will be more convenient and comfortable than any other seats. Try not to take seats near technical areas such as kitchens, toilets, luggage compartment, there will be passengers constantly walking and disturbing you. When choosing a seat, take into account the factor that you will have to get up, think about how often and whether you should choose a chair by the window or by the aisle.

The operation of the Boeing 767-300 began in 1986. This wide-body, long-haul aircraft immediately became popular. It was developed as an extended version of the Boeing 767-200. The liner was created for flights over long and short distances.

Designers, designing the aircraft, provided for an improved supply of fuel to the engines. At the same time, the efficiency of aircraft control was improved. Significantly reduced engine noise. Composite materials were used in the construction.

The cabin provides a wider space located between the seats. This has significantly increased the level of comfort. The width of the cabin is one and a half meters greater than that of the Boeing 747. With a standard cabin, the number of passengers is 224 people. But there is also an option used for charter flights. It provides for the transportation of 325 passengers.

Large Russian airlines use this spacious aircraft on various routes where it is required to deliver a large number of passengers. There are such Boeings in the companies "Russia", "Siberia", "Utair" and a number of others.

The best and worst seats in the cabin

The vast majority of these liners have a two-class cabin layout. At the same time, there are only 30 seats in the business class, and 185 seats in the economy class.

Business class is located in the nose of the aircraft. Here, the best seats are in the front row, A and B. In addition to the comfort provided in this class, they provide ample legroom for passengers. In addition, these places are far from the premises that perform a technical function.

Other seats in the first row have some drawbacks when compared with the rest of the seats in this class. At the same time, they stand out for the better when compared to any economy class seats.

The worst seats in business class are those in the fifth row. The reason is that there is a toilet nearby.

Seats located in the economy class are not provided by the passenger advanced level comfort. But even here there are better and worse places. So, passengers in the 11th row are in somewhat uncomfortable conditions. The fact is that there is a toilet nearby. This means that there are almost always standing in line or other passengers are just passing by. The sound of doors being closed is heard regularly.

Another minus for the passengers of this row is a blank partition in front of them. Because of it, it is impossible to stretch the legs, which passengers in other rows can do. There is only one plus in the 11th row - there are no seats in front. This means that the seat back folded down by the front passenger will not interfere.

The 25th row, located near the emergency exit, has places that are notable for inconvenience. The backs of the seats here either do not recline at all, or recline by a small amount.

Seats in the 27th row have the same advantages as the seats in the 11th row. The disadvantages are the same.

Places in the 38th row are recognized as bad. This is the last row. It is located in the tail section of the aircraft. Armchairs located in it often have restrictions in the angle on which their backs recline. In addition, technical rooms are located nearby.

In all rows, seats located in certain places have both advantages and disadvantages. So, passengers sitting at the windows can admire the pictures that open in front of them. Of course, if the flight takes place at night, then this plus disappears. It is also convenient that you do not need to get up to let a passenger who needs to get off. However, getting up from this chair yourself is a little uncomfortable.

Seats next to the aisle allow passengers to get up at any time when they need it. At the same time, you don’t have to ask anyone to let you through. However, getting up yourself to let someone through is still not a very convenient thing. In addition, other passengers and flight attendants pass along the aisle, which somewhat interfere with such passengers.

In the Russian UTair airlines Boeing 767-300 has a cabin, the layout of which has only an economy class. Armchairs in rows are arranged according to the scheme 2 - 4 - 2. That is, 2 chairs at the sides and 4 in the central part. This aircraft carries 336 passengers.

As always, seats in the 1st row are considered the best. The reasons are the same as with the usual arrangement of seats. The disadvantage here is also common - there is a kitchen and a toilet nearby.

Seats in the 2nd row, bordering the aisle, are somewhat uncomfortable. Other passengers or flight attendants appear in the aisles, which can hurt those sitting.

The partition behind the backs of the 11th row seats does not make it possible to recline the backs by a large amount. The second negative is that there are toilets nearby. The last minus applies to the 12th row.

Seats in the 14th row can be attributed to comfortable. There is no 13th row in front of them, so there is a lot of legroom. However, the chairs are located directly in front of the entrance to the toilet.

The next 15th row has the same drawback as the 14th. In addition, there is no additional legroom. So this series belongs to the category of the worst.

Rows 16 and 17 are also not comfortable. The reason is that the toilet is very close. Also, there's a lot of noise here.

Passengers in the 31st row experience inconvenience. The backs of their chairs recline a very small amount. The reason is that there is an emergency exit behind. Another minus - it is impossible to look out the windows.

The best places are in the 32nd and 33rd rows. There is an emergency exit in front of them. Enough legroom. Cons - the seats located at the sides of the aircraft may not have armrests. Another minus is that tickets for these seats are not sold to pregnant women, the disabled, the elderly, passengers with children.

In row 44, the seats bordering the aisles have standard flaws. Lines for the toilets can accumulate here. Passengers and flight attendants moving along the aisles just interfere a little.

Almost the analogue of the 15th row is 46. There are only minuses here. It is located opposite the entrance to the toilets.

Advantages of an airliner

The Boeing 767-300 received the greatest popularity on long-distance routes. Economy played a significant role in this. His fuel costs turned out to be 20 and even 30 percent less than those of his predecessors. A wide-body aircraft can carry from 218 people (business class and economy class) to 350 people in one economy class in one flight. Moreover, its crew consists of only 2 people.

An aircraft at a cruising speed of 851 kilometers per hour can fly 7,900 kilometers. Its 767-300 ER version is capable of flying 11,065 kilometers. At the same time, all passengers, even with the option of an economy class cabin only, will be in conditions that are not inferior to those that exist on other liners used on routes of a similar length.

Conclusion

After the crisis in air travel that arose in 2001, demand for the Boeing 767-300 declined. However, the company started design work to create the next model. This is a Boeing 787. Orders for it have already been placed, with full production all problems have not yet been resolved.

A wide-body aircraft that has taken its niche in the market passenger traffic, for the time that has passed since the crisis, continues to hold its positions. Moreover, he is gradually mastering new routes, proving that both he and his future successor have a future.

Calculating the cost of a taxi to the airport

Along with the creation of the Boeing 757 aircraft, The Boeing Company aircraft manufacturer decided to create a model marked as the Boeing 767. These two models were developed in parallel with each other and therefore, in general, they are technologically identical. A significant difference is the interior design and layout of the cabin. The Boeing 767, unlike the 757, is wide-body airliner having two aisles between the seats. The Boeing 767 has become a popular powered airliner for flights across Atlantic Ocean. Boeing 767 as well as Boeing 757 comply with international standards civil aviation ETOPS (Extended Range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards).

Initially, the first version of the 767-100 was offered to airlines, but this version did not arouse much interest due to reduced passenger capacity and which bore great similarities to the 757.

The fact that the Boeing 767 is able to achieve commercial success among airlines was proved by the version of the Boeing 767-200, which differed from the previous model in an enlarged cabin. The length of the aircraft was 48.51 meters. Production of this modification began in July 1978, and in September 1981 the aircraft took to the skies. A year later, the first Boeing 767-200 aircraft arrived at the American carrier United Airlines, which ordered thirty aircraft at the beginning.

Boeing later developed a version labeled Boeing 767-200ER. This modification received additional fuel tanks, which allowed this liner to make longer non-stop flights. The last official release of the 767-200 and 7-200ER took place in 1994. But in 1998, production of the 767-200ER version continued after an order was received from Continental Airlines.

Boeing 767 interior layout

The 767-200ER version has no direct competitors. The Boeing 767-200 has 181 seats in three classes or 224 seats in a two class design. The Boeing 767-200 is mainly used on routes such as New York - Los Angeles.

In February 1982, the company announced the development of a new version, designated 767-300. This model is about 6.42 meters longer than the 767-200. The first flight took place in January 1986, and in September of the same year, the airliner began commercial operation with the air carrier Japan Airlines (JAL). And the version 767-300ER, delivered in March 1988 to American Airlines, is, like the 767-200ER, an extended modification with a large supply of fuel. The Boeing 767-300ER has proven to be the most popular with airlines, and is mainly used on long-haul flights and less busy routes.

From version 767-300 there is also a cargo model with the designation 767-300F. The first order for this Boeing was from United Parcel in 1993.

The latest modification of the 767 liner has the designation Boeing 767-400EF. Development of this version began in 1996 on order from Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines. Compared to the previous version, the 767-400ER has been extended by 6.4 meters. The wings of the aircraft were also modified - they became longer and the wingtips changed. The dashboard, brakes and wheels are similar to those of the Boeing 777.

UTair has only one Boeing 767-300 in its fleet. This is board number: VQ-BSY. The liner made its first flight in May 1997. Before being acquired by UTair, it was operated by Azur Air, Air Astana and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Azur Air now has 5 Boeing 767-300 aircraft with an identical cabin layout.

The layout of the cabin is single-class (only economy), the seats in the rows are located in the arrangement: 2 - 4 - 2 (two seats at the edges and four in the middle). A little cramped, but the maximum capacity of the aircraft is 336 passengers. This is 60 passengers more than Transaero will intervene.

The liner scheme is posted on the official website and is located at: link.

Let's try to figure out the best and worst places Boeing 767-300 of UTair.

Row 1. The first row of the salon. The seats in the nose of the aircraft are traditionally considered one of the most comfortable, especially when it comes to the front rows. In this case, we get extra legroom, as there is no front row. And since the distance between the rows in the economy class is small, every extra centimeter can affect the comfort of the flight.
But there is one significant drawback - there is a toilet and a kitchen nearby. This means that the entire flight here will be cross-country, the constant movement of flight attendants with food and water. There may be unpleasant odors.
Row 2 Seats B, C, F, G are extreme to the aisle, so here you can regularly be hit by elbows and carts with food (a few meters remain to the toilet and kitchen). By the way, this applies to the same places in the first row.
Row 11. Armchairs rest against a partition, therefore they are limited in reclining. You will have to endure the entire flight in one position of the chair. Not really convenient places. In addition, there are toilets nearby, which guarantees extra fuss.
Row 12. The backs of the chairs here, although they fold out freely, are very close to the toilet.
Row 14. Due to the lack of row 13, additional legroom appears here. We can say that there is a lot of it. But we cannot consider these places convenient, since the row is located near the toilet, or to be more precise, right in front of the entrance to the toilet. If you are ready to endure the whole flight of slamming doors and smells, you can stay here.
Row 15. It has the disadvantages of the 14th row, but does not have its advantages. That is, there is no such important additional legroom. Therefore, these places can be considered one of the most uncomfortable.
Row 16 and 17. They also cannot be considered comfortable, since they are located next to the toilets, which means that it will be noisier here than in other parts of the cabin.
Row 31. The seatbacks are limited in reclining due to the presence of an emergency exit behind the row. You will have to fly the entire flight in one seat position. Also, there may be problems with the view through the windows.
Row 32, 33. The most comfortable seats on this ship. The rows are near the emergency exit, so there is extra legroom. In addition, no one will bother you with a reclined chair (at the 31st row, the backs do not recline, since for safety reasons it is forbidden to block the emergency exit).
However, there are also downsides. Firstly, such places are booked primarily because of their convenience. Secondly, for safety reasons, passages cannot be laid hand luggage. So, you have to put everything on the upper shelves. Thirdly, seats A and H may not have armrests on the side of the aircraft wall. Finally, fourthly, according to the same safety precautions, it is forbidden to sit here for pregnant women, passengers with small children and animals, as well as the elderly and the disabled.
Row 44 seats B, C, F, G have the disadvantages of row number 2, that is, they are on the way to the toilets.
Row 45. Seats A, B, G, H- the backs of the seats are limited in reclining due to the partition from the toilet. In addition, it is very noisy here and the sounds of the cistern can be heard throughout the flight. Perhaps this is one of the most uncomfortable places in this cabin layout.
Row 46. It is located opposite the entrances to the toilets. This is actually an analogue of the 15th row, with all its disadvantages. Seats in this row are not recommended for booking.
