India-Russia fly high with Aeroflot

Aeroflot recently celebrated its 60 years of regular air service between the Indian and Russian capitals. The airline started its India operations with one weekly flight from Delhi to Moscow. In view of the increase in demand and interest among the Indian travellers for Russia, the airline increased its frequency in the spring of 2016 to two daily flights between Delhi and Moscow.

Kidisyuk Sergey explains that an average of 500 seats is available on the two daily flights between Delhi and Moscow. He said, “During the summer time, the traffic from India to Russia is significantly higher. Indian travellers are showing more and more interest in our product and prefer Aeroflot to not just to fly between the two capitals but also beyond Moscow to a larger network of international destinations of our airline.”

Given its size and potential as well as positive legacy of bilateral ties with Russia, India remains a priority market for Russia's largest airline. Sergey elaborates, “Taking into consideration that India is a huge country and the demand is growing, we shall consider beginning operations to new destinations in India soon. Currently we do not have any code-share agreements with the Indian carriers but we have partnered with Air India and Jet Airways. We are looking at collaborating with our new interline partner Vistara as well.” The general manager pointed out that the airline is working with renowned Indian travel agencies and has a big agency network.
