Aeroflot Airlines is the most distinguished airline company of the world based in Russia

Aeroflot is one of those international airline companies of the world, which are thought to be the pioneer airlines in the field of air transportation of both the travelers and the cargo. The airline touches almost all the important worldwide destinations. It came in to being in 1923 and thus has a career history of almost a century. It has, perhaps, the longest professional career on its part in comparison to any other airline of the world. It maintains Sheremetyevo International Airport as its operational hub. Though Aeroflot is owned by a private company named as Rosimushchestvo yet the company has only 51.17% shares of Aeroflot. The rest of the shares are owned by the Russian government. Before the debacle of USSR, Aeroflot was the national airline of Russia and entirely owned by the government. At that time, the airline also enjoyed the title of the largest airline of the world. After the demise of USSR, Aeroflot was given a new structural form. Now it is a joint venture of the Russian government with the private sector. The airlines’ headquarters is situated at Moscow, Russia. Aeroflot is the flag-carrier airline of Russia and is the biggest airline of the country.

In spite of the structural changes in Aeroflot, the airline is still rated as one of the most profitable airlines of the world. Aeroflot is also working on its expansion plan and wants to modernize itself. There will also be some administrative changes in the existing set up of the airline. In the beginning of the present decade, the airline also hired some British experts to devise a strategy for the uplift of the airline. Under the new strategy, Aeroflot will emerge as the most modern airline of the world. After the inclusion of recently ordered planes, the airline will include many new destinations in its network around the globe. At present, the air line includes 86 planes of varied capacities and characteristics in its fleet. Aeroflot has also ordered for new planes to be included in its fleet. The total number of the new planes is 124 and these will be received by the airline gradually. At the moment, it has planes like Boeing 787-8, Ilyushin Il-96-300, Sukhoi Superjet 100, Tupolev Tu-134-A, Tupolev Tu-154-M and -B 28 125.

Aeroflot covers almost 93 destinations within and outside Russia. The most popular destinations in the flying network of Aeroflot are Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, India, Iran, Japan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Thailand, and the countries of the Eastern and Western Europe. Aeroflot has also services for America and Australia. Thus, the airline has its presence on almost all the international airports. There are many subsidiaries of Aeroflot such as Aeroflot-Don, Aeroflot-Nord, Aeroflot-Plus and Aeroflot-Cargo, giving the airline a deep access into its worldwide network of destinations.
