Tupolev Tu-204
The main aircraft featured in the film is Tu-204SM registered RA-54151 (serial 64151), painted in the colors of a fictitious airline Pegas Avia (the actual plane is owned by Tupolev company). A CGI model was used in some scenes.

A stand model of Tu-204.
Another one
Tupolev Tu-154
A Tu-154M reg. RA-85796 (serial 94A980) is burning in a fictional Kanwoo airport. The plane, which was destroyed in the filming process, was previously owned by Kosmos Airlines, hence the name of a fictional air carrier Osmo made up by removing the first and the last letters in the word "Kosmos" of original livery. The filming of the Kanwoo disaster scene took place in Zhukovsky airport.
An unidentified Tu-154 of SLO Rossiya briefly appears in the lower left corner of turmoil escape scene.
Tupolev Tu-134
Tu-134A-3 of fictional airline LodAir and fake registration JI-78040 seen behind. The actual aircraft used was RA-65606 (factory number 46300) owned by Tupolev company. A bunch of aircraft tails is seen on the background, among them a tail of Tu-144 CCCP-77115, stored in Zhukovsky.
Tupolev Tu-104
One of the scenes briefly features Tu-104B installed as a monument near Vnukovo airport. This plane with a serial number 021905 displays tail number СССР-Л5412, although its actual registration was СССР-42507.
Antonov An-12 & Tupolev Tu-16
An-12 RA-11529 (factory number 6344109) is seen behind Tu-16.
Same An-12 rendered in a CGI scene.
Antonov An-12 & Fictional Aircraft
An-12BK in colors of fictional airline YouAir and fake registration KY-201409. Actual aircraft was RA-13331 with factory number 6344510, it was used as a flying lab for testing anti-icing systems. This An-12 was also burned during filming. The plane on the right is a metal mock-up constructed for the movie (see Discussion tab for more information).
Antonov An-26
Antonov An-26 of a fictional airline SoAir with fake registration SO-086420. The actual plane used for filming was RA-29113 (factory number 1301), stored in Zhukovsky since 1994.

Boeing 737-700
Boeing 737-700 registered VQ-BLS (s/n 30277) of Yakutia Airlines in the opening credits.
Boeing 737-800 VQ-BUL (s/n 41707) near Vnukovo terminal. The scene was digitally altered to “paint” this UTair aircraft (which has mostly white livery with grey lower part of fuselage) into Pegas Avia colors. This also presents a break in continuity, as Tu-204SM appears in all other sequences of this scene.
UTair’s Boeing 737-800 VQ-BQS (serial 36387). UTair and Aeroflot are the only real-world airlines that had their “logo shots” in “Ekipazh 2”.
Another Utair Boeing 737 appears on the advertising poster on the wall.
Unknown (most likely also UTair’s) Boeing 737 taxiing.

Many Utair’s 737s outside.
Boeing 737-700 reg. EI-RUM (serial 34321) of Transaero, manufactured in 2005. A Tu-154, other 737s and some other aircraft also seen on the background.
Boeing 747-400
Transaero’s Boeing 747-400 in the lower part of the screenshot. All markings of Transaero were digitally removed everywhere throughout the film, most likely due to them not buying an advertising contract. The airline was still in existence during filming, but was already defunct when the movie was released.
An inflated model of Boeing 747 in Transaero colors hangs under the ceiling.
Boeing 757-200
Boeing 757-200 (registered VQ-BCF, serial 27974) of Yakutia Airlines.

Unidentified Aircraft
A stand model inside Vnukovo terminal. Most likely Airbus A300 or A330.
An airplane takes off in Vnukovo, is too far to reliably identify. The livery looks like that of Air Berlin (which had flights to VKO), but it could be digitally altered.
Various
An aerial shot of Vnukovo shows lots of various aircraft from different airlines.
