Aeroflots long-haul ops?

true,very true.

Well, they own their Tu154’s and my auntie came back from her flights giving the same sort of report as Skymonsters.

But consider the age difference between the 777s and TU154s.

There real is no excuse for a relatively new aircraft to be in such a state.

All that’s worth saying is that the interior was a total wreck – frayed carpets, rips in seats or threadbare seats, stained cloth, adjustable wings missing from headrests on quite a few seats, broken seat back tables, cracks in side-wall claddings, filthy bathrooms, etc, etc. This wasn’t just a case of an aircraft appearing to be nearing the time it needed an interior refit, it was just totally uncared for and not looked after.

In contrast, I recall the cabin service and food not being too bad, although I also recall that the service and the interiors were MUCH better on the A310s we flew LHR-SVO and SVO-LHR on.

At the time, the SU 777s flew daily PEK and NYC, so maybe they just flew them so much they didn’t have time to care for them. Either way, they were in a bad state internally and anyone who got them in that state would have been looking at some major interior work to get them to a state that most airlines (and passengers) would find acceptable.

Interesting and concerning at the same time.

Its funny how they let them rot like that.

Perhaps Aeroflot decided, as they only leased the aircraft, that they were not responsible for the interior? That is certainly the Russian business mentality (I speak from experience). If you don’t own it, don’t care.

Do you mean Airport??

I saw Airline yesterday and it was the one where SU sent the 777 to LHR for the first time. After the woman who actually wanted to go to Paris got off it looked quite nice.

I feel sorry for Vietnam – I hope that they’ve got plenty of time and money available to refurbish those two ex-Aeroflot 777s, because they are the tattiest airplanes I’ve ever flown on.
