The Aeroflot group is set to expand its summer schedule to 269 destinations, running from March 31 to October 26. This represents a 7% increase over the 2023 summer timetable, according to the airline’s press service.
Of these 269 destinations, 149 lie within Russia itself, served by Aeroflot and its subsidiaries Pobeda and Rossiya. The group will fly to more than 100 locations from Moscow’s primary hub, Sheremetyevo, with a total of 139 routes originating there.
Aeroflot will feature a summer geography of 127 destinations, with each subsidiary, Pobeda and Rossiya, serving well over 100 routes. The schedule includes more frequent services on several key domestic routes, notably rising frequencies to St. Petersburg, Sochi, Antalya, Chelyabinsk, Grozny, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Krasnoyarsk and Kazan.
For the first time since 2016, the Aeroflot Group will incorporate flights from three Moscow airports to St. Petersburg into its summer program. Travelers will have options from Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Domodedovo to St. Petersburg this season.
Pobeda Airlines will continue operating from both Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo, maintaining its expanding domestic footprint. Beginning June 1, Pobeda flights from Russia’s largest airport will move to terminal D. As part of the Aeroflot–Pobeda joint flight program, 35 destinations are planned, with 23 routes from Sheremetyevo.
During the summer, Aeroflot group airlines will run direct services from Moscow to eight cities in the Far Eastern Federal District, including Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Yakutsk, Anadyr, Magadan, and Blagoveshchensk. State-supported tariffs remain available for residents of the Far East and other eligible Russian groups, helping to keep travel affordable on these routes.
In addition, Aeroflot will offer its own fixed-rate Economy fares on Far East routes through a flat-fare program, giving travelers predictable pricing on long-distance trips to this region.
International weekend and city breaks from Moscow will include direct services to Ho Chi Minh City, Male, Bangkok, Phuket, Mahe, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Bodrum, and additional Mediterranean and Asian destinations. Aeroflot will operate Krasnoyarsk–Moscow–Bangkok and Krasnoyarsk–Moscow–Phuket flights as part of its expanded network.
The Aeroflot Group plans to fly from 14 Russian cities to Antalya and from nine Russian cities to Istanbul in the upcoming season. Bangkok and Phuket routes will now link with eight different Russian departure points, broadening access to Southeast Asian-and Middle Eastern leisure markets.
Additionally, the summer program will extend its regional aviation initiative with ongoing flights from 11 Russian cities to Sochi, supporting domestic tourism and intra-country travel during peak season.
Overall, the new summer timetable emphasizes growth in both international and domestic connectivity, with a focus on key hubs and popular leisure routes. The combination of expanded frequencies on domestic corridors, multi-airport access to St. Petersburg, and a robust Far East and Southeast Asia offering positions the Aeroflot Group to meet rising travel demand while maintaining competitive pricing through state-supported tariffs and fixed-rate fare options. Passengers seeking value and convenience will find a broad mix of direct flights, improved connections, and flexible pricing across the network, aligning with broader industry trends in the region and beyond.
