S7 airlines
Starting life in 1957 as the Tolmachevo united squadron of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of the Soviet Union, S7 airlines has operated a fleet of Antonov, Tupolev., Airbus, and Boeing aircraft. Following the break up of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, Siberia Airlines was created and then later privatized in 1994. In 2001, Siberia Airlines absorbed Baikal Airlines and inherited several Antonov An-24, Antonov An-26, and Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft. (Featured image: Getty Images)
