Airplane Yak-42: reviews of passengers

The company "Izhavia" is the only air carrier of the Volga Federal District. Today it is a dynamically developing company that performs flights throughout the country. The basis of the air fleet is the reliable Yak-42 aircraft. The passengers' opinions completely coincide with the opinion of mechanics and designers. These are the best to date liners that are able to provide communication between any points of the world.

A little about the company

To date, "Izhavia" is the most famous and in demand in Russia. The airport complex of the airline includes a complex infrastructure with air, ground and ancillary services. The staff of the aviation personnel includes 62 experienced professional pilots, including four international crews with the fourth level of training in English. The flight attendant service consists of 45 professionals, and more than 100 qualified employees of the aviation technical base work for the company.

The corner of the sky

We can say that the only machine that does not need advertising is Yak-42. Passengers' reviews regularly note that it is on these planes that the flight passes most easily and comfortably. However, that's not all. It was on the Yak-24 was set a huge number of world records. After all, the original progenitors of these small maneuvering vehicles were created as training, sports and military.

First passenger models

You will be surprised to learn how long the first prototype Yak-42 appeared. The passengers' reviews have been difficult to find, but the history of the modern liner will still be interesting to know. As early as the beginning of 1933, Yak appeared for six passengers, then his four-seat analog. The first prototype, reminiscent of the external appearance of the one we see in the sky today, appeared in 1947, immediately after the war. It was a perfect, extremely simple, easy and convenient to maintain design with optimal shapes. These features were transferred to the first jet aircraft Yak-42 Passenger reviews have assessed the comfort of the flight is very high. This brought the company world recognition. A three-engine jet with a cabin for 32 passengers and a range of at least 2200 km was highly appreciated by specialists in different countries.

Progress does not stand still

Back in October 1966 the first flight to the Yak-40 was completed. He was led by Deputy Chief Designer Adler Ye. G. Flight tests had a fantastic success, the model just beat all records. It became clear that she had a great future. It was the first jet plane that brought comfort and speed to local airlines. From 1966 to 1980, more than 1,000 specimens were built. The scheme of this plane with a straight wing was further developed and embodied in a more perfect car, which today we know as the Yak-42. Izhavia's passengers can judge that this liner, designed for 120 seats, is one of the most convenient.

Cabin

We deviated a little to the history of the origin of this aircraft. This is useful information that will be of interest to most future and real passengers. However, let's look inside and see what is inside the Yak-42. The passengers' feedback emphasizes that this is the liner they choose over and over again due to the fact that the seats in the cabin are very comfortable. Even with a long flight, you do not get tired at all. The distance between the seats is quite comfortable, and the height of the cabin allows you to sit even a tall man without any discomfort.

The cabin is standard, elongated, with two rows of seats. There are entrance doors and emergency exits. Passenger seats in the first cabin are located just behind the crew cabin. Usually these are business class seats, with appropriate maintenance. Next is the second salon. In both of them there is a toilet room.

Flight service

We are used to being somewhat skeptical about the service in domestic hotels, travel agencies and other organizations engaged in providing services. However, traveling with the company "Izhavia" will pleasantly surprise you. Those who fly often and for a long time, all other liners prefer Yak-42. Feedback from passengers (2016) makes it clear that every time you are a welcome guest on board. Very often in the reviews of the words of gratitude to the commander and crew for a wonderful flight, peace and quiet.

The work of flight attendants, so inconspicuous, becomes very important when you are in the air. Here, on board, you can fully enjoy the attention and warmth. For each passenger regularly comes the stewardess or steward, is interested in his condition, offers his help. At any time you can bring water or other drinks, offer sweets, as well as a warm blanket. Bad state of health is another reason to call a steward. On board there is always a trained specialist and a set of necessary medicines.

Meals on board

At first glance, this is not such a big problem. However, if the flight is a long one, then a snack is just necessary. A poor-quality food, plus the load that the body experiences in flight, can spoil the long-awaited vacation. Particular attention should be paid to meals on board people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, children and pregnant women.

And what will you enjoy when you get on the Yak-42? Reviews evaluate the food is positive, everything is tasty and nutritious. The meals will depend on the duration of your flight. If you have to spend several hours in the air, then you will be served tea with a cupcake. With long and long flights, the following menu is offered:

• Vegetable salad.
• Meat cutting.
• Garnish (mashed potatoes or porridge) with peas and stew.
• Bread, bun, cereal bar, butter, tea or coffee.

This is a full dinner, varied and very tasty. All the second dishes are served in the sauce, because the dry air in the salon leads to the fact that the food seems very dry. Of course, there are those who did not like the dishes they served, because we are all very different. However, there is always a chance to grab a cereal bar, drink coffee and a bun and it's quite tolerable to reach the destination where you can visit any restaurant.

Impressions of the flight

We analyzed a huge amount of information, including the passengers' responses about the Yak-42 aircraft, and came to the conclusion that the quality of transportation can be set to a solid five. Passengers highly appreciate the work of pilots who gently perform maneuvers, practically insensibly raise and plant aircraft. Regularly there are new words of gratitude to the flight attendants. They are real professionals of their business, attentive and smiling, polite and caring, they are ready at any time to give you any help. Despite the difficult work, these people are always pleasantly surprised by the wonderful mood and willingness to share it with others.

Instead of concluding

Despite the fact that the Yak-42 was never able to surpass the famous Tu-154 in popularity, it won the love and recognition of a fairly large number of passengers. It is difficult to judge which of the aircraft is better, but warm reviews indicate that the services of the company "Izhavia" should be used. Yak-42 is a comfortable, convenient liner that will turn any of your flights into a real fairy tale. If in the near future you are going to visit another city or country, then book tickets in advance to make your flight the most enjoyable.
