Aeroflot is one of the oldest airlines in the world. Her story begins back in 1923. Today, this state-owned enterprise has an impressive list of subsidiaries under its control. Most of them provide flights to domestic destinations. However, there are many carriers at the disposal of the national corporation that fly abroad. Let's take a look at what information is known about Aeroflot's subsidiaries, the list of which is given below.
Russia
Let's start our review of Aeroflot's subsidiaries with airlines called Rossiya. This enterprise is based at the airport of St. Petersburg - "Pulkovo". It is at this point that the main part of the company's fleet is concentrated. Another, smaller dock for the carrier is Vnukovo Airport, which is located in Moscow. It is noteworthy that all flights of Rossiya Airlines are carried out on behalf of the state enterprise Aeroflot.
According to the results of last year, the carriertransported over 4.5 million passengers. Today, according to this indicator, Rossiya Airlines ranks sixth in the country among not only low-cost, but also the largest domestic airlines.
As for the geography of flights of the air carrier's liners, its fleet carries out regular flights to 25 cities of Russia and provides communication with dozens of foreign points.
Victory
Pobeda is a subsidiary of Aeroflot, which has the status of a budget airline. The company was founded in 2014 instead of the Dobrolet organization, which stopped its work, which collapsed due to European Union sanctions as punishment for organizing flights from Simferopol abroad.
Victory Company has at its disposal one of the "youngest" fleets in the country. As of the beginning of 2016, the average age of the company's liners was only 1.8 years.
Reviewing the subsidiaries of Aeroflot, it is worth noting that Pobeda airlines today have the status of the safest in the country. With the liners of the organization there were no emergencies that would lead to damage to equipment, harm to passengers or crew members. The only unpleasant incident in the history of the Pobeda company is the departure of the aircraft from the runway, which occurred after landing on the Moscow-Cheboksary flight on November 11, 2016. As a result of the incident, the liner's personnel had to resort only to the prompt evacuation of passengers.

Considering Aeroflot's subsidiaries, the Aurora organization should be noted. The fleet of the latter is based simultaneously in several cities, namely: Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok. The enterprise was formed in 2013 as a result of the merger of airlines called Vladivostok Air and Sakhalin Airways.
"Aurora" is mainly engaged in the organization of domestic flights. One of the main activities of the company is to provide communication between the largest cities of Siberia and the Far East region of Russia. In terms of overseas flights, Aurora Airlines operates passenger and cargo flights to Japan, China and Korea.
