This winter we will open new routes as well as increasing flight frequencies to popular destinations. We are pleased to offer travelers new international destinations as well as additional flights to popular tourist destinations, thus expanding travel options with Aeroflot for both business and leisure travelers.”

Zmago Skobir, managing director of Fraport Slovenija, operator of Ljubljana Airport, said:

"We are happy to greet Aeroflot at Ljubljana Airport. Daily flights should generate up to 50,000 additional airport passengers per year. Aeroflot is a trusted air carrier with a modern fleet that will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the visibility of Slovenia in Russia and on the inflow of Russian tourists to Slovenia. Russian travelers are traditionally good consumers, so they are expected to substantially contribute to the tourist income of Slovenia. For Slovenian travellers, Aeroflot's connection to Moscow is an excellent starting point for further travels over Russia, to former Soviet countries and to Asia as well.” 

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia, its main political, financial and cultural center. It is popular among tourists for its architecture and a large number of green spaces. Ljubljana is a picturesque city with a medieval castle standing proudly on the hill above the city's downtown. Ljubljana is host to a wealth of attractions whilst still being considered an undiscovered gem of Europe. The capital of Slovenia is easily accessible from other major European cities, including Vienna in Austria, Venice in Italy and Munich in Germany. 

Aeroflot operates daily flights to all of these destinations and starting from October 28 is expanding its European route network and increasing flight frequencies. Now your trips to Europe with Aeroflot can be even more convenient and waiting times for connecting flights from our hub at Moscow Sheremetyevo even shorter.

Vitaly Saveliev, CEO of Aeroflot, said: 

“Today Aeroflot ranks as a leading global carrier and we continue to expand our international route network and offer new convenient connections for our transit passengers. This winter we are pleased to offer travelers new international destinations as well as additional flights on select popular routes, thus expanding travel options with Aeroflot for both business and leisure travelers.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Aeroflot to the growing list of international airlines at Dubai World Central. As an airport that offers a fast, friendly and convenient customer experience, DWC is emerging as an airport of choice, particularly for point to point routes. Aeroflot’s addition will further boost that popularity by expanding the airport’s connectivity. Considering that Russia is among the fastest growing destination countries for Dubai, the launch of Aeroflot’s services to DWC couldn’t have been more timely,” said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.

Dubai is the largest and most populous of the seven emirates that make up the UAE. It is a city of superlatives: people come here to see the tallest buildings, drive the fastest cars, shop in the most luxurious malls and enjoy the best tourist amenities. On top of that, Dubai is a key Middle Eastern business hub. Known for customer service excellence and world-class amenities, Dubai is a popular destination for both tourists and people traveling on business.

Flights to and from DWC, which is easily accessible from the most popular resorts and busiest commercial centres of the city, give passengers additional options for getting in and out of Dubai. Russia’s flag carrier this winter will continue to operate services from Moscow to Dubai International (DXB), bringing the total number of flights per week on Moscow-Dubai routes to 28. 

In recent years, Aeroflot has established a reputation as a top choice for transit passengers, offering customers convenient connections through the company’s Moscow hub. Moscow’s geographical location and the seamless connectivity via its modern facilities at Sheremetyevo Airport mean that journeys between different continents can be two hours or even shorter than through other major hubs. At the same time, Aeroflot offers its passengers top-class service and some of the most affordable fares globally.

United Airlines Bolsters Domestic Network: Adds 22 New Routes for 2019

United Airlines Bolsters Domestic Network: Adds 22 New Routes for 2019

CHICAGO, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today announced it is continuing to strengthen its domestic route network by offering more ways for customers to connect to 22 destinations from six of its U.S. hubs. The airline also announced it will begin nonstop service to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, from Chicago, New York/Newark and Washington, D.C. With the new service, United will offer more nonstop service from more cities to Hilton Head Island than any other airline. Tickets are available now for purchase.

"With more than 40 new domestic routes added this year, we remain committed to expanding our network to offer customers even more choices in their travel destinations," said Ankit Gupta, United's vice president of Domestic Network Planning. "The expansion to Hilton Head Island from three of our hub cities and the introduction of New York's only nonstop service to Anchorage and Pensacola, are just some of the ways we are responding to customer interest and demand."

Maximizing the Unique Strengths of its East Coast hubs

Beginning this month, United's enhanced East Coast schedule, announced in May, takes effect. The adjustments maximize the airline's unique strengths of its East Coast hubs in New York/Newark and Washington Dulles. The additional routes announced today will continue optimizing access to key business and leisure destinations from Newark while shifting short-haul connecting flights to Washington Dulles.

"No other airline flies to more cities from the New York/Newark area than United Airlines, and today we are excited to add three more nonstops, including the only nonstop service between New York/Newark and Hilton Head Island, and Pensacola, as well as the area's only nonstop service to Anchorage. We're also expanding service to key business destinations, including Detroit, St. Louis, Omaha, Richmond, and Kansas City, Missouri," said Jill Kaplan, United's president of New York/New Jersey. "New Yorkers don't stop and neither should their flights."

United is shifting shorter-haul flights to Elmira, New York; Lexington, Kentucky; and Manchester, New Hampshire from New York/Newark to its Washington Dulles hub. Additionally, United will introduce new nonstop service between Washington Dulles and Asheville, North Carolina.

Growing California's global airline in Los Angeles and San Francisco

United Airlines, California's global airline, offers customers more destinations within California than any other airline and serves more U.S. destinations from San Francisco than any other U.S. airline. Beginning June 6, 2019, United will begin nonstop service between San Francisco and Columbus, Ohio. From its hub at Los Angeles International Airport, United will begin nonstop service to Eugene, Oregon; Madison, Wisconsin; and Pasco/Tri-Cities, Washington, beginning March 31, 2019.

"There's no substitute for a great network; serving destinations with convenient flight times that our customers want. This is something we continue to expand on in California," said Janet Lamkin, United's president of California. "We look forward to connecting more of the country with California, for example Columbus and Madison, two important markets for higher learning."

Enhancing United's mid-continent hub operations in Chicago and Denver

Beginning April 6, 2019, United will begin nonstop weekend service between Chicago O'Hare and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. United is the only airline offering nonstop service between Chicago and Hilton Head Island.

From O'Hare, United operates more flights than any other airline. Earlier this year, United made schedule improvements at its Chicago hub to enable more departures and more connections while reducing the amount of time customers spend waiting at the airport.

United announced last week its enhanced schedule offering at Denver International Airport, the airline's fastest growing hub, offering more flights, better flight times and more connections. United also announced it will begin new service between Denver and Charleston, South Carolina; Eureka, California; and Fairbanks, Alaska.

Aeroflot flies off with first-ever Business Traveller Award

15 October 2018, Moscow – Aeroflot has been named Best Airline in Eastern Europe at the Business Traveller Awards, the first time that the Russian flag carrier has scooped one of the annual awards voted for by readers of leading UK magazine Business Traveller.

“It is a special honor to receive this prestigious international award,” said Aeroflot CEO Vitaly Saveliev. “The Business Traveller Awards are particularly valuable as they reflect the unfiltered opinions of our most discerning passengers. More and more international travelers are choosing to fly with Aeroflot, which reflects our consistently high standards of service, convenient route network, and attractive prices. We will continue to focus on these competitive advantages as we seek to further strengthen our global market position.”

The Business Traveller Awards are among the most prestigious in the industry and have been a fixture of the business travel and hospitality calendar for more than 30 years. The results of the poll of the magazine’s readers are authenticated by an independent auditing company and are widely recognized as the market’s benchmark for excellence.

Business Traveller is the leading magazine for frequent business travelers, with 14 editions worldwide. Launched in the UK in 1976, Business Traveller has become the leading magazine around the world for corporate travelers who seek out superior service whether on the road for business or pleasure.

Aeroflot is a regular winner of international awards based on passenger polls. The loyalty and high levels of satisfaction of the airline’s passengers were reflected at this year’s Skytrax World Airline Awards, when Aeroflot was named Best Airline in Eastern Europe for the seventh time, while users of TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel reviews site, named Aeroflot’s business class service the best in Europe.
