Aeroflot becomes the official carrier of St.Petersburg International Economic Forum 2021

Aeroflot will traditionally be the official carrier of St.Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2021. On the days of the event, Airbus A350, the company’s most modern long-haul aircraft will operate some flights on the Moscow – Saint-Petersburg route.

"St.Petersburg International Economic Forum is one of the key high-profile business events of the year. Aeroflot is both the official carrier and a regular participant of the Forum. SPIEF, which has been held for almost a quarter of a century, provides perfect opportunities to share best practices, discuss new approaches and effective solutions. On the days of the Forum, to ensure comfort of the participants some flights on the Moscow – Saint-Petersburg route will be operated on our newest flagship A350 aircraft. I hope the SPIEF guests will appreciate the new level of comfort of Aeroflot’s most modern aircraft", said Mikhail Poluboyarinov, CEO of Aeroflot.

The Roscongress Foundation’s Deputy Director for Services Ekaterina Rakcheeva noted that Aeroflot/SPIEF cooperation allows to facilitate the logistics of the event for the participants and to increase capacity in line with peak arrival and departure times. «Besides, Aeroflot attaches a great deal of importance to COVID-19 prevention policies as well as employees’ and passengers’ health protection measures. This is a pivotal advantage in terms of selecting an airline for SPIEF participants», said Ekaterina Rakcheeva.

Aeroflot’s A350 has a three-class cabin configuration with 28 private business class Suites; 24 Comfort class seats; and 264 Economy class seats. The business class cabin layout is unique with Suites including 2-metre full-flat beds. This level of comfort for business class rivals the first-class cabins of most major carriers. As well as a high level of privacy and personal space, the Suites also come fitted with a 54cm screen.

An advanced multimedia system with high-speed Internet access is available across all classes of service. Economy and Comfort class seats offer increased legroom and seat pitch. The spacious cabin, reduced noise and adaptive lighting create a relaxing atmosphere for passengers on board.
