May 22, 2009 (newstodate): Aeroflot is back again in the charter business transporting tourists on contracts with Russian tour operators.
Aeroflot has been in the segment before, but during the recent booming years lack of available capacity and better revenue from scheduled operations kept Aeroflot away from charters.
The aircraft now offered to the charter operators remain in normal Aeroflot configuration and will return to scheduled services after the tourist season and whenever demands return in the scheduled traffic
The charter operations are managed by the existing Aeroflot organisation, and not by a separate business unit.
