I am sorry that just like on the
other Aerosvit thread I have to chip in with a whole lot of corrections. What is it about non-US designed aircraft that makes those from the US write such unmitigated and uninformed rubbish about them?
And still can you give me an accurate number of civilian russian made planes with major fatal accidents in that period. I know u can't because hundreds of accidents were never reported in the news
The history of the entire Soviet civilian aircraft production right down to An-2 level is well documented in specialist publications, and all aircraft produced are completely accounted for, along with all major incidents.
Well if the fly to Toronto and New York then they will have to follow the strict FAA safety rules.
Since when did the FAA's mandate extend to Canada ? Toronto to Kiev does not cross US airspace.
Also their fleet are mainly Boeing 733/34/35 and 767 those are better planes safety wise than any Russian plane
The Aerosvit fleet is entirely Boeing, 8 737s and 2 767s. They do not have Russian-built aircraft and are not based in Russia but in Ukraine. The aircraft are not old, and are as well looked after as elsewhere. For the OP, the flight from Toronto to Kiev is on a 767, and on to India is on a 737.
I still prefer a Boeing or an Airbus to any Russian plane anytime anywhere
Well, let's look at some facts, like no passenger has EVER been killed in a Soviet/Russian made widebody, anywhere. A 100% safety record.
