The remaining five Boeing 767s, four Airbus A319s, six Il-96s and two Airbus A320s will be withdrawn from the fleet as scheduled in 2014. It is expected that two Airbus A319s will be transferred to subsidiary airlines.
Operating flight time of the Aeroflot fleet in 2013 was 509.1 thousand hours, which is 10.5% more than in 2012. Average flight time per aircraft fell by 0.1 hour to 10.3 hours due to withdrawals from the fleet.
