One livery, every fuselage, no exceptions

Bare polished aluminium below the royal-blue cheatline; the line continues unbroken from nose-cone to tailfin on every Il-62, Tu-134 and Tu-154 in active rotation.

Timetables typeset, not assembled

All printed schedules now compose to a single condensed grotesque grid — eight columns at Sheremetyevo, six at outstations. Cyrillic and Latin share metrics.

The roundel governs the tail

Rodchenko’s winged hammer-and-sickle appears once, on the vertical stabiliser, at a fixed 1 : 4 chord ratio. No secondary mark, no fuselage repetition, no rotation.

Crew documents in two scripts, one voice

Manifests, boarding passes and crew briefings now print Cyrillic and Latin at identical weight and tracking — Helvetica for service copy, Roboto Condensed for tabular data.
