The airline took delivery of its first A320 in November 2006 under a lease agreement with ILFC. Since the arrival of the first A320, six more have arrived, with the latest delivered in August 2010. These A320s are currently in use on flights to destinations in Asia and Russia.

On 6 January 2009, ILFC announced that the airline has leased three used Airbus A330-300 aircraft. The first aircraft was delivered in May 2009, after coming off lease from Aer Lingus. The lease term is for 7 years. The aircraft entered service on 9 June 2009, flying between Vladivostok and Moscow. The A330 sits 327 people and will be used to fly mainly between Vladivostok/Khabarovsk to Moscow. The second A330 was delivered in October 2009, while the third arrived in March 2010.

With an influx of more modern aircraft, like the A320 and Tu-204, Vladivostok Air has been able to shift all remaining Tu-154 aircraft into its reserve and charter fleet.

During MAKS Airshow 2009, Vladivostok Air signed a precontractual agreement to buy four Antonov An-148, with options for two more. These regional jets will carry between 68–85 seats and will eventually replace the four aging Yak-40 aircraft. The aircraft are expected to be delivered between 2012 and 2014.

The average age of Vladivostok Air's A320s are 13.4 years, while the A330s are 15.4 years as of May, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:

    They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,
    Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
    Like fairy-gifts fading away.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
    For so appears this fleet majestical.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
