Aeroflot returns to Abu Dhabi Daily

From October 1, Aeroflot will resume daily scheduled service from Moscow to Abu Dhabi, with tickets already on sale. The route will be operated by narrow-body Boeing 737-800 aircraft in a two-class configuration—business and economy.  This new route comes right after Aeroflot restarted flights to Dubai from Moscow and Krasnodar. It shows that air travel between Russia and the UAE is bouncing back.

Low-cost subsidiary Pobeda (part of the Aeroflot group) is also ramping up its presence. From September 3, it will relaunch Moscow–Dubai services, initially operating three times weekly out of Vnukovo Airport. The frequency will increase to four weekly flights from September 15, become daily from October 1, and double to twice daily from October 2.  Pobeda will also extend its UAE footprint to Abu Dhabi starting October 25. Flights will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with the schedule confirmed through March 27, 2027.
