Russian Transaero Airlines has recently completed the design of the Airbus 380s interior. The newly designed plane will be joining in the fleet by 2015. The aircraft can accommodate 652 passengers which will be classified to Imperial or First Class, Business Class and Economy Class.

The Imperial Class promises a unique flying accommodation experience. There will be 12 closed suites, all of which will have golden upholstered luxury seats which can be extended into flat beds. Guests can draw out retracting blinds for privacy and comfort in their individual areas. It will be located on the lower deck of the aircraft front and the seating configuration can be done in 1-2-1.

The Business class features 24 cocoon style seats with upholstered fabric. The seats can also be transformed into 180-degree flat beds for more comfort. It will be located on the upper deck of the aircraft front and the seating configuration can be done in 1-2-1.

Both Imperial and Business class cabins come with mood lighting which changes into different lighting colors according to the stages of the flight. Both classes will also have access to the aircraft bar along with other existing features, as well as cloakrooms for passengers.

The Economy class can accommodate 616 upholstered high-quality leather seats with 3D effects. It will be located on both lower and upper decks with configurations of 3-4-3 on the lower deck and 2-4-2 on the upper deck.

According to Olga Pleshakova, CEO of Transaero Airlines, “When developing the interior design of our A380s we strived to make full use of the advantages of this type of aircraft. The unique passenger capacity provides for very comfortable conditions for passengers. When creating the new configuration we referred to Transaero’s extensive positive experience of operating aircraft with 522 seat capacity.” Pleshakova adds, “ I am certain the first A380 aircraft in the Russian market will be very popular among our clients, both on domestic and on international routes. The launch of their operation will become a new step in development of Russian commercial aviation.”
