Airbus A320/A321, A330, A350, Boeing 737-800, 777-300ER, Sukhoi Superjet; about 171 aircraft, average age about 9.7 years (2025, secondary source).
Scores
- On time
- No airline-wide 2025 figure found; FlightStats route samples ranged from 25% to 92% on time, so a middle score.
- Aircraft and comfort
- About 171 mainline aircraft averaging 9.7 years (October 2025, secondary source): A320 family, A330, A350, 737-800, 777 and Superjets. Sanctions block Western parts and Reuters reported parts being stripped from some 737s and A320s.
- Baggage allowance
- Economy Lite has no checked bag; Classic, Saver and Promo include one 23 kg bag; cabin bag 10 kg.
- Service and food
- Full-service with meals; the product is decent but sanctions have cut entertainment and catering options. No current independent rating.
- Changes and refunds
- Lite is non-refundable; Classic and above are changeable and refundable for a fee per the fare rules. Payment from Iran is the real obstacle.
What is good
- Onward flights from Sheremetyevo to Bangkok, Delhi, Beijing and Central Asia
- Same airport as Mahan's Moscow flight
What is not
- Spare-parts shortage under sanctions
- Visa and Mastercard do not work in Russia; paying is hard
Tips
- Buy through an agency abroad or with a Mir-linked card; do not count on the Shetab-Mir link
