Is Aeroflot still flying to USA?

Aeroflot operates direct flights from Moscow to four destinations in the USA: New York (duration: 10h 30m), Los Angeles (13h), Washington (11h) and Miami (13h).



No, as of 2026, Aeroflot is not flying to the United States. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA suspended the right of Russian airlines to use U.S. airspace, and these sanctions remain in place. Aeroflot has pivoted its international strategy toward Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with plans in 2026 to launch new routes to cities like Paris, Beijing, and New Delhi using the new, locally-produced MC-21 aircraft. For travelers wishing to fly between the U.S. and Russia, the only options are "indirect" routes through neutral hubs such as Dubai (via Emirates), Istanbul (via Turkish Airlines), or Doha (via Qatar Airways). While Aeroflot continues to modernize its fleet and expand its global footprint in other regions, direct service to North America remains non-existent due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and reciprocal airspace bans.
