As of early 2026, Aeroflot does not currently fly to London or any other destination in the United Kingdom. Following the geopolitical events of early 2022, the UK government—along with the European Union and the United States—imposed a total ban on Russian aircraft from entering their airspace. In response, Russia imposed reciprocal bans on UK and EU carriers. Before these restrictions, Aeroflot operated multiple daily flights between Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) and London Heathrow (LHR) using modern Airbus and Boeing aircraft, and it was a popular choice for budget-conscious travelers heading to Asia via Moscow. Currently, travelers wishing to fly between London and Moscow must use indirect routes through "neutral" hubs such as Istanbul, Dubai, Doha, or Tashkent. This has significantly increased both the travel time and the cost of the journey. While Aeroflot remains the national carrier of Russia and continues to fly domestically and to "friendly" international nations, the skies over the UK remain closed to them, and there is no confirmed timeline for when these direct aviation links might be restored.
