Aeroflot has taken three key nominations at the prestigious Business Traveller Russia & CIS Awards 2017, retaining the titles of Best European Airline and Best Airline in Russia & CIS and also taking the prize for Best Flight Attendant’s Uniform.

The Business Traveller Russia & CIS Awards were held in Moscow for the second time, with hundreds of Russian and international companies including airlines, airports, hotels and car-rental firms competing.

Established by Business Traveller, the authoritative UK-based magazine, the awards rank among the most definitive in the world.

Online voting in this year’s poll ran through 5 November and attracted participants including businessmen, senior corporate managers and representatives of business schools.

The Russian flag carrier’s cabin-crew uniform has regularly been voted one of the smartest and most fashionable in the world. It was named Best in Europe according to a Skyscanner survey and also cited as the most stylish by participants in St Petersburg Fashion Week and travel search engine Aviasales.ru. Aviation portal BS Aeronautics named Aeroflot in the top three airlines for best-dressed flight attendants.
