Impact of coronavirus pandemic
The operating results of January 2021 were affected by the dynamics of demand and significant flight restrictions imposed amid the spread of the novel coronavirus infection.
In January 2021 Aeroflot Group continued to restore its domestic traffic volumes and partially restore international flights. In addition to flights to Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Egypt, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, Japan and Serbia, based on regulatory approval flights to Helsinki (Finland) were added with limited frequency. In February flights to Baku (Azerbaijan), Yerevan (Armenia) and Delhi (India) have also recommenced, and the frequency of flights to a number of destinations was increased. However, in general, international traffic remained significantly limited.
Fleet update
In January 2021 Aeroflot Airlines phased out one Airbus А320 and one Airbus A330-200, and also transferred three SSJ100s to the fleet of Rossiya Airlines as part of intra-group redistribution. As of 31 January 2021, the fleet of the Aeroflot Group consisted of 340 aircraft.
