PJSC Aeroflot – Russian Airlines (Russian: ПАО «Аэрофло́т — Росси́йские авиали́нии», PAO Aeroflot — Rossiyskiye avialinii), commonly known as Aeroflot (English: /ˈɛərˌflɒt/ or /ˌɛərˈflɒt/ ; Russian: Аэрофлот, transl. "air fleet", pronounced [ɐɛrɐˈfɫot]), is the flag carrier[8][9] and the largest airline of Russia.[10] Aeroflot is headquartered in the Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, with its hub being Sheremetyevo International Airport. The Federal Agency for State Property Management, an agency of the Government of Russia, owns 73.77% of the company, with the rest of the shares being public float.[11]

During the time of the Soviet Union, Aeroflot was one of the largest airlines in the world.[12] In 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Aeroflot was divided into approximately 400 regional airlines informally known as Babyflots and was restructured into an open joint-stock company.

It has a market share in Russia of approximately 39%.[13] Including subsidiaries, the company carried 47.3 million passengers in 2023.[3] Aeroflot also owns Rossiya Airlines and Pobeda, a low-cost carrier.[3]

The Aeroflot fleet, excluding subsidiaries, includes 171 airplanes: 112 Airbus planes and 59 Boeing planes.[3] The company plans on making the Yakovlev MC-21 its flagship plane, with deliveries expected to start in 2025 or 2026.[14]
