History Russian aviation has been going on for more than a hundred years. During this time, many airlines have been created, both public and private. In Russia, there are both low-cost airlines, the so-called low-cost airlines, and carriers that perform regular and cargo transportation.
The pioneer in civil transportation is the Derulyuft air carrier, it was an air company for the transportation of passengers, cargo, mail. The company was established in 1921. The company made its first flight to Königsberg and later to Berlin. It is the very first official civil air carrier in Russia. Then many more new airlines appeared. The list was great. Later, the first large state-owned air carrier, Aeroflot, appeared in the USSR, which still operates many international flights today.
At the present time, it is already difficult to imagine a better, faster and more reliable way of transportation than aviation. It is not the cheapest, but the most popular way for travel, business travel and cargo transportation.
Today the register of airlines in the Russian Federation numbers more than 100 carriers. Some are over 50 years old. It is difficult to answer unequivocally which airline is better in Russia; every travel lover has his own. However, ratings among Russian carriers can help you to make the right choice.
Aeroflot is the leader in transportation.
