Impact of coronavirus pandemic

In 7M and July 2020, operating results were affected by the dynamics of demand and significant flight restrictions imposed amid the spread of the novel coronavirus infection. Suspension of scheduled international flights and quarantine restrictions in Russia affected the decline in traffic indicators.

In July 2020 Aeroflot Group’s domestic traffic volumes continued to recover, the restoration of flights is accompanied by a progressive increase in the passenger load factor. According to the results of July, Pobeda airline reached the traffic levels of the comparable period of last year.

In August Aeroflot began to gradually restore international regular flights. Flights to the UK and Turkey were opened.

Fleet update
