PJSC Siberia Airlines ((ロシア語:ПАО «Авиакомпания „Сибирь"») "PАО Aviakompania Sibir"), operating as S7 Airlines, is an airline headquartered in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia,〔"(Talk to Us )." S7 Airlines. Retrieved on 21 June 2010. "Legal Department, S7 AIRLINES, Ob-2, Novosibirsk Region, 633102, Russia " 〕 with offices in Moscow.〔"(Headquarters )." S7 Airlines. Retrieved on 4 October 2009.〕 As of 2008 it was Russia's biggest domestic airline. Its main bases are Domodedovo International Airport and Tolmachevo Airport. ==History== The first western aircraft, Airbus A310s, were acquired in 2004. In summer 2004 during the Farnborough Airshow, the company signed a memorandum of intention to purchase 50 of the new Sukhoi Russian Regional Jet, with the first plane to be delivered in 2007. However, the airline subsequently dropped its plans to order this aircraft, citing that the aircraft's changed specifications no longer met its requirements.〔(Flight Global ), 7 February 2006〕 In line with an IATA resolution, from December 2006 the airline began to publish its fares for international destinations originating in Russia in euros, rather than US dollars. This resulted in a fare increase, as the conversion rate used was 1 euro = 1 US dollar. Fuel surcharges were also published in euros. Its domestic fares were still to be shown in the local currency.〔 〕 Also in December 2006, the airline became the second Russian air carrier to complete, and pass, the IATA International Safety Audit (IOSA), which is the first global air safety standard. On 27 September 2007, OAO Sibir Airlines /S7 Airlines/ received an official notice of IATA when the carrier was entered in the register of operators IOSA. It was announced in April 2007 that a new division had been set up within the airline, called Globus. This division was to focus on charter flights for tourists to foreign holiday destinations. Initially, the aircraft for this division would be used from within the mainstream fleet, but during 2010–2014, 10 Boeing 737–800 aircraft were to be leased with an all-economy layout, followed by an option for a further 10 more after this period. On 29 May 2007, the airline announced a proposed order for 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliner scheduled for delivery in 2014, with an option for 10 additional aircraft.〔( Announcement by Boeing of Dreamliner order ) 29 May 2007.〕 However, the order was officially canceled on 29 January 2009, with S7 stating that it was considering the possibility of taking the aircraft under a leasing scheme. As of November 2008, all Soviet-made aircraft had left the fleet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=S7 Airlines )〕 ===Take-overs=== In 2001, the airline absorbed Baikal Airlines and then in 2004, the airline absorbed Chelyabinsk Airlines and Enkor.〔Artem Fetisov (On the Mend ), November 1, 2006, Air Transport World 〕 ====Vnukovo Airlines==== In 1997, Siberia Airlines tried to buy the airline, to make Moscow as the next main hub, but it brought no outcome. After the 1998 Russian financial crisis, the Vnukovo Airlines was moving to the bankruptcy, and Siberia Airlines advised to merge, but the airline was refusing. In 1999, Siberia Airlines signed a document of the Vnukovo Airlines take-over, in case the airline ceases its operations. S7 Airlines had began merging Vnukovo Airlines in 2001, where S7 Airlines had taken all the aircraft from Vnukovo Airlines including Tupolev Tu-154, Tupolev Tu-204-100 and Ilyushin Il-86. In 2002, S7 Airlines (that time Siberia Airlines) painted all Vnukovo Airlines fleet to Siberia Airlines livery and the airline had began its service from Moscow-Vnukovo, but after sometime it shifted all the flights, including the charters, from Moscow-Sheremetyevo, to Moscow-Domodedovo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「S7 Airlines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
