Is the quality of service amenities different on GH? In the same way that Aeroflot is not the same as Rossiayas7 ( in Premium cabin)
S7 stopped doing charters back in 2011 (or so). They said that it was not profitable and that charters did not fit into their strategy. We all know what happened to airlines that tried to do both: charters and regular flights.
The quality is EXACTLY the same. GH tends to operate the longer flights (DME-YKS, OVB-HKG e.t.c.) because of the range capabilities of the 738s. That said, with the introduction of 320 and 321 NEO into the fleet, we can now see S7 operating even longer routes, (the longest one at the moment is DME-TFS (7 hours).
SU is running a total zoo with their subsidiaries. The service standards of FV or HZ are nowhere near those of SU.
