In 2002, Moscavia took delivery of eighteen 737-300s at once, all leased from AerCap. Over the following six years, the airline would acquire more, eventually forming a fleet of 41 in total, and in 2006-2007 bought most from AerCap, turning the leased planes into owned ones. Starting in 2003, the carrier also started buying 737-400s, with nine being leased by 2005, and then a further nine bought from Russian International Airlines - Moscavia's main competitor - in 2006-2007. In 2004, twelve 737-500s were acquired from Global Airlines via AerCap. No more -500s would join the fleet after these twelve, which remained leased for their entire time with the airline. The 737 Classics, of which Moscavia operated a total of 134 at the subfleet's peak, helped the airline retire all its Tupolev 154s by 2011, making it an all-Boeing airline (the Il-86s were all sold off in 2008) - making it the only Russian airline to transition fully away from Soviet/Russian types at that point in time, a unique marketing point. While the 737-300s and -500s went on to have a long service life with Moscavia (-500s retired in 2015, and -300s still in service), the 737-400s only lasted until 2010, by which point all of them had left the fleet due to more fuel-efficient and comparatively-sized 737-700s and 800s joining the fleet.
