Aeroflot has received eight Boeing cargo planes previously owned by the Volga-Dnepr Group. The aircraft are reflected on the carrier's balance sheet in the consolidated IFRS financial statements for the nine months of 2025.
After including these aircraft in Aeroflot's fleet, the number of aircraft in the group's airlines, including passenger liners, reached 360 units.
Lease agreements for two Boeing 737-800BCF and two Boeing 747-400ERF were оформлены на авиакомпанию «Россия», and four more Boeing 737-800s were оформлены на «Победу».
These aircraft will allow Aeroflot to reduce its dependence on imported supplies and optimize the availability of spare parts.
Using the aircraft as a source of components may increase the technical readiness of the current Aeroflot Group fleet and reduce the repair time of passenger aircraft in the event of key system failures.
As a reminder, Aeroflot has announced its intention to purchase at least 200 MC-21-310 aircraft after they are ready. When exactly such a number of aircraft will be built in Irkutsk is unknown. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Savelyev called the MC-21 a competitor to Western Boeing and Airbus.
