I am fairly sure SU operated SEA-SVO.in 1990`s. If memory serves with B767's.
I was going to offer SU but I wasn't sure it had the equipment used later, 777-200(ER)

Connecting to.....

AA 2111: Miami (MIA) 11:50p - 4:22a+1 Lima (LIM)
Freq: Daily
Service classes: C/Y (I believe the standard domestic first cabin was sold as business class as I do not think AA had reconfigured their 757s with lie-flat biz class seats yet)
Equip: 757
It was sold as/with domestic F seats for a long time past the mid '90s. AA eventually dropped 763 F/J/Y service MIA-GRU-ASU and went with n/s C/Y 752 MIA-ASU (as well as MIA-La Paz/Santa Cruz). My former work colleague were still doing that route and weren't too pleased.

I once flew to ASU via GRU (missed the connection at GRU) and a bag ended up in LIM, no doubt by 752. Took about a week for it to fly back up to MIA before getting to ASU.
