MOSCOW, 2015-7-14 — /Travel PR News/ — Aeroflot (Moscow Exchange ticker: AFLT) has been named as one of the world’s 20 leading airlines by passenger traffic by Air Transport World (ATW).
Russia’s flag carrier has significantly strengthened its international position year-on-year, climbing five places and ranking ahead of peers including Qantas, Thai Airways and Iberia with 20.2 bln RPKs in the first five months of the year.
