Recent years have seen major changes in the air travel market. Several monopoly companies have been replaced by small carriers that carry out domestic and even international transportation. Alrosa Airlines also belongs to this category.
Alrosa Airlines: history of appearance
Alrosa Airlines began its history forty years ago. During this period, it belonged to the airline of the city of Mirny and carried out air transportation throughout the territory of Yakutia. In 1995, when serious changes were taking place in the country, the airline was transformed into AK Alrosa. Eight years later, the company spun off into an independent enterprise - the Alrosa airline, which has been successfully operating to this day.day.
Based in the city of Mirny, the main airfield is also located there. The second most important airport for Alrosa is located in the city of Polyarny. In addition to these two, the company owns five more airports in different cities of the country. Now the activity of the air carrier has crossed the borders of Yakutia in the field of civil transportation.
Directions
Most of the flights the airline still operates in Yakutia, but operates flights to the CIS countries, Europe and Asia. Mostly these are charter flights. Now Alrosa has more than twenty-two different directions of civil air transportation. On the most popular of the routes you can always find responses. What reviews does Alrosa (the airline) have about itself? Tomsk, Anapa, Moscow - there are the most passengers in these directions. And it is this Russian air operator that is always ready to deliver Yakut passengers to the capital of our Motherland, as well as to the most popular sea resorts. According to the internal policy pursued by Alrosa (the airline), passenger reviews are never left without attention. The management carefully checks all comments and takes serious action if necessary. All this testifies to the seriousness of the air carrier and responsibility to its customers.
In addition to passenger flights, Alrosa also carries out cargo transportation for oil, mining and diamond mining enterprises. Thanks to the company's aircraft, machinery, equipment and food are delivered to remote areas. In this industry, the airlinehas been a monopoly for many years.
In addition to various air transportation, Alrosa is engaged in aircraft repair and other aviation work. Many smaller companies operate thanks to the craftsmen of Alrosa.
Alrosa (airline): fleet reviews
Initially, all the "winged property" of the company consisted of inherited aircraft of the airline of the city of Mirny. The number of aircraft was small, but gradually the fleet expanded significantly and now has fifty-three liners. In addition to them, Alrosa owns twenty-nine helicopters, which are simply necessary for cargo transportation. Almost all helicopters are Mi-24 and the famous Mi-8.
Several years ago, most of Alrosa's aircraft had a very respectable age - more than thirty years. But now the management has purchased many new airliners, including the Boeing 737. This has significantly increased the comfort of long-distance flights. From that moment on, Alrosa passengers began to leave reviews about the company much more often, and most of them are positive.
In addition to ordinary passengers, the first persons of Yakutia also leave their reviews on the official website. The Alrosa airline carries out all transportation of the leaders of the region and the heads of large commercial enterprises investingfunds to the economy of Yakutia.
Aspects of service
Most of the comments on the Alrosa website are passenger reviews about the comfort of the flight and service. Among the many texts there are laudatory and abusive, thanks to this, everyone can form their own opinion about the air carrier.
I would like to note that all the company's liners are very comfortable. Meals are included in the ticket price. It has several options and meets the most stringent requirements. Passenger service is carried out under two programs - business class and economy.
For business class passengers there is a wide range of alcoholic beverages and fruits to choose from, standard meals include several options to choose from. Economy class is presented more modestly - passengers receive two types of meals and soft drinks in the form of juices and mineral water.
For those who do not often fly with Alrosa, reviews about the work of flight attendants may seem quite frightening. But in fact, all the claims of passengers are related to the age of employees. The fact is that the airline takes the selection of its personnel very seriously and does not welcome young people without work experience. Therefore, almost all employees on aircraft are over the age of thirty-five.
Alrosa (airline): baggage policy reviews
The baggage rules adopted by the company are not much different fromstandard in Russia. Each passenger can take hand luggage into the cabin. Its weight should not exceed five kilograms. Business class passengers are allowed to carry up to two pieces of hand luggage.
The weight of baggage checked into the cargo hold must not exceed twenty kilograms. The business class service program provides for up to thirty kilograms of baggage.
In addition, each passenger can carry bags and suitcases in the cabin, paying for them separately. This is provided by the rules of the airline. The general list of prohibited items is identical to international standards.
It is worth noting that among all the comments on the Alrosa website, reviews about the airline related to restrictions and baggage rules are close to zero. Almost all passengers are satisfied with these rules and perceive them adequately.
Additional services of Alrosa air carrier
At the moment, Alrosa cannot boast of a large number of additional bonus services. These include a separate check-in counter at Moscow Domodedovo Airport and free Aeroexpress. The latter service is available only for passengers flying to Moscow from Mirny and Polyarny. They can take the Aeroexpress and get to Paveletsky Station in forty minutes.
Promotions and bonuses from Alrosa
Like many other major air carriers, Alrosa quite often carries out promotions and sales of air tickets. The company does not yet have its own bonus program, but itactively cooperates with various air ticket search engines on the Internet. The points accumulated for the purchase of any tickets on a certain search engine site can also be used as payment for air tickets on routes operated by Alrosa. It is quite profitable and convenient for passengers. Especially for those who, by the nature of their professional activities, are often forced to fly outside of Yakutia. On the official website of Alrosa Airlines, the reviews of employees of commercial enterprises who often use the services of this carrier are always positive and express gratitude for a comfortable flight.
How to buy tickets for Alrosa flights?
You can buy air tickets on routes operated by Alrosa in many places. It is most convenient to make a purchase through Internet sites, they always provide a wide selection of air tickets for different dates. In order for the purchase to be as profitable as possible, it is necessary to start searching for an air ticket two to three months before the expected departure. This will allow you to choose the lowest price, especially if the flight will be connecting.
Alrosa Airlines is one of the most responsible employers in Yakutia
I would like to talk about the largest supplier of jobs in Yakutia, which has been Alrosa Airlines for several years now. Feedback about the employer can always be viewed on the official website of the company. Most of them have a pronounced enthusiastic color, becauseall residents of Mirny who work on the routes of Alrosa are simply in love with their work.
Each employee of the airline always receives wages on time, has a number of benefits and free travel to the place of rest by Alrosa liners. The competition for one vacant place is always more than ten people. This is due to the special policy of the air carrier in relation to its personnel. It is built on the desire to gather a highly professional team and provide them with such working conditions that cannot be obtained anywhere else. It is worth noting that the airline's management succeeded one hundred percent.
Alrosa Airlines can be safely attributed to the most dynamically developing young companies. Moreover, it occupies this place not only among the major air carriers of Yakutia, but throughout Russia as a whole. If you are planning to visit the city of Mirny or another area of this harsh region, definitely buy Alrosa airline tickets. You will enjoy a comfortable flight and pleasant service provided by attentive flight attendants.
