Aeroflot Russian Airlines (ICAO: AFL) is Russia's flag carrier and largest airline, with a rich history and a significant presence in global aviation.
Aeroflot was founded in 1923, making it one of the world's oldest active airlines. Initially, it served as the state-owned airline of the Soviet Union, growing to become the world's largest airline by the late 1980s. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Aeroflot was restructured into an open joint-stock company, and its name was changed to Aeroflot – Russian Airlines in 2000 to reflect its new strategy.
The airline's main operational base and primary hub is Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) in Moscow. Additionally, Aeroflot utilizes secondary hubs at Domodedovo International Airport (DME) in Moscow and Pulkovo Airport (LED) in Saint Petersburg, and has been actively developing regional hubs in Krasnoyarsk (KJA) and Sochi (AER).
As of late 2024, Aeroflot Group's fleet consists of 349 aircraft, comprising a mix of wide-body and narrow-body aircraft. The fleet includes Airbus A320 family, Airbus A330, Airbus A350 XWB, Boeing 737, and Boeing 777 aircraft. The airline is also focusing on acquiring Russian-made jets, with plans to make the Yakovlev MC-21 its flagship plane and deliveries expected to commence in 2025 or 2026, as part of an order for over 400 Russian-made aircraft. Historically, Aeroflot served an extensive route network, including 146 destinations in 52 countries. However, due to international sanctions, its international network is currently limited, with a stronger focus on domestic routes and some international flights to countries that maintain open airspace with Russia. Aeroflot was a member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance, having joined in 2006, but its membership was temporarily suspended in April 2022. The airline offers various cabin classes, including Economy, Comfort (Premium Economy), and Business Class. Notably, its Business Class on Boeing 777 aircraft features individual suites with sliding doors and full-flat beds.
