Aeroflot inaugurates new Krasnoyarsk hub

Aeroflot has formally inaugurated its new international hub at Krasnoyarsk, intended to complement its Moscow Sheremetyevo base. It intends to open services from 1 June, with the first flight SU2878 operating to Blagoveshchensk. Blagoveshchensk will be one of five initial routes on the Krasnoyarsk network which will also include Krasnodar, Simferopol, Sochi and Irkutsk. Boeing 737-800s will be stationed at the hub, although the inauguration event featured a newly-delivered Aeroflot Airbus A321neo. Aeroflot expects over 100,000 passengers to use the hub over the summer season. “The [Krasnoyarsk] hub means new opportunities for our passengers, reduced travel time and fewer connections per trip,” says CE Mikhail Poluboyarinov.<br/>
