Transaero Airlines

Transaero was a Russian full-service scheduled airline that operated domestic and international services and ceased operations in 2015. From a traveler’s perspective it is no longer an option for booking; any practical concerns relate to legacy tickets, refunds, vouchers or mileage balances left from when the airline was active.

Frequent Flyer Program

Transaero’s operations and associated frequent-flyer activities ended with the airline’s collapse, so there is no active program for travelers to earn or redeem miles today; if you have an old balance or accrued benefits, contact the issuer of the miles or your travel agent for the current status. There is no current frequent-flyer program to credit new travel to, and any legacy partner arrangements should be verified case-by-case.

Where Transaero Flew

Transaero operated from several major Russian airports including Domodedovo (DME), Koltsovo (SVX), Pulkovo (LED), Sheremetyevo (SVO) and Vnukovo (VKO) and served a mix of domestic Russian routes and international services, including long-haul sectors. While it was active the carrier flew regional routes across Russia and to destinations in Europe and beyond, but it ceased operations in 2015 and no longer offers flights; any ongoing connectivity to its former network is handled by other airlines or through codeshares that existed at the time.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

When it was operating, Transaero used a mixed fleet profile with narrowbody Boeing 737-family aircraft for short- and medium-haul routes and larger widebodies such as Boeing 747/767/777 types on long-haul services. Cabins typically included economy and a business-class product on long-haul equipment, with some aircraft offering a higher-density single-class layout for domestic services; specific seat layouts and amenities varied by aircraft and vintage. The airline no longer operates, so these aircraft and cabin configurations are not available for current travel.

Aircraft types operated: Airbus A320neo family, Airbus A380, Boeing 737 Classic, Boeing 737 Next Generation, Boeing 747, Boeing 747-400, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Yakovlev SJ-100

Tips for Flying Transaero Airlines

  • Transaero ceased scheduled operations in 2015 and cannot be booked for travel today, so do not try to purchase tickets on the carrier directly.
  • If you hold a Transaero-era ticket, voucher, or miles, contact the travel agent, the payment card issuer for a possible chargeback, or the organization that issued the voucher for next steps as refunds may be complex.
  • For itineraries that included Transaero, look to rebook on other carriers serving the same city pair and keep all original booking records and receipts to support refund or insurance claims.
  • If you have a flight credit or frequent-miler balance from Transaero, treat it as potentially expired or non-redeemable and verify status with any partner programs or regulators before assuming value.
