Aeroflot is Russia's largest airline in the country and was founded by the Russian government on 9th February, 1923.

Aeroflot was the first Russian airline company to join the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 1989 and was the first Russian airline to be included in the International Air Transport Association's Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registry. The company is fully ISO 9000 safety accredited.

Today, it operates flights to 95 destinations in 48 countries, including 28 destinations in Russia. Its fleet is among Europe's most modern, youngest and fastest growing. It consists of 104 aircraft, confirming the airline's commitment to the highest economic, safety, ecological and noise standards. In 2008, Aeroflot started receiving Airbus A330 aircraft which dramatically expanded the airline's long-haul capabilities and standard of service.

To meet the needs of its passengers, Aeroflot is increasing its fleet and building its own new hub in Moscow at Sheremetyevo (SVO-3) Terminal D to serve Aeroflot's flights as well as its SkyTeam partners.

Sheremetyevo-3 will be the best passenger terminal in the Eastern Europe and Russia's first full-scale international hub, supported by a base company and the global alliance.

In April 2006, Aeroflot became a full member of SkyTeam which is the second-largest airline alliance in the world. In addition, Aeroflot operates code-sharing agreements with 29 Russian and foreign airline companies.
