Aeroflot airline is the leader of Russian civil aviation (passenger turnover - 23 million people in the first half of 2017) and the “strongest” brand among air carriers in the world according to brand assessment by Brand Finance (an independent consultant). In 2006 he became a member of SkyTeam.

Aeroflot's aviation holding includes Pobeda, Aurora and Russia. Flights of Aeroflot and its alliance partners (SkyTeam) to Sheremetyevo are served by terminal (D).

In 2016, Aurora became connected with Aeroflot through code sharing. Based on the agreement, Aurora began to place the Aeroflot code SU on some joint flights (passengers book tickets through the Aeroflot air ticket reservation information center: + 7 495 223 5555 or the Aurora contact-center: 8 800 250 49 88).

In 2015, the geography of Aeroflot online check-in expanded: webchek-in became available to its subsidiaries - Orenburg Airlines and Rossiya Airlines - as part of flights with departure airports Domodedovo and Vnukovo.

  • You can check in for a flight while in your office or apartment;
  • everyone will be able to choose the place that suits them best;
