Aeroflot to reactivate its stored Airbus and Boeing fleet to meet demands

Aeroflot has started reactivating its stored aircraft, about 12 jets comprising of Boeing777 and Airbus A321 and A350 are all set to re-enter commercial service and join Aeroflot fleet this summer to meet the growing air travel demands. Of the stored aircraft, one B777 and one B737 have already begun commercial operations. The aircraft were stored last year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine leading to sharp fall in international passengers and imposing of Western sanctions on the country. Things are slowly changing now, with passenger traffic recovering to almost 50% year-on-year in the three months from January to March 2023.
