Guests can draw out retracting blinds for privacy and comfort in their individual areas. It will be located on the lower deck of the aircraft front and the seating configuration can be done in 1-2-1.

According to Olga Pleshakova, CEO of Transaero Airlines, “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.” Pleshakova adds, “ 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 development of Russian commercial aviation.”
