WORLD AIRLIN TORY Description Russian national carrier operating international and domestic passenger services to 139 destinations in 70 countries.

History Originally founded under the name of Dobrolet, but changed to Dobroflot after absorbing the Ukrainian company Ukvozduchput. In 1932, all civil aviation activities were reorganised as Grazdansij Wozdusnyi Flot, known as Aeroflot. The Russian Federal Government reorganised Aeroflot - Soviet Airlines in July 1991, renaming the airline Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines. The airline became a joint-stock company in April 1993.
