Yes, Aeroflot is still operating in 2026, though its network remains significantly altered due to ongoing international sanctions. The airline continues to maintain a robust domestic network within Russia, connecting Moscow’s Sheremetyevo hub to major cities like St. Petersburg, Sochi, and Vladivostok. Internationally, Aeroflot’s reach is restricted primarily to countries that have not imposed air travel bans on Russia; this includes frequent flights to Turkey (Istanbul, Antalya), the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), Egypt, Thailand, China, and various CIS countries like Armenia and Kazakhstan. In early 2026, the airline reported growth in international passenger traffic as it successfully pivoted toward "friendly" global hubs. However, Aeroflot remains banned from the airspace of the UK, USA, Canada, and the European Union, and it is still suspended from the SkyTeam alliance. Maintenance of its Western-built Boeing and Airbus fleet is managed through domestic solutions and "gray market" parts sourcing, while the airline is increasingly transitioning its fleet toward Russian-made aircraft like the Irkut MC-21 and Sukhoi Superjet New to ensure long-term operational stability.
