Aeroflot has retained its title as World’s Leading Airline Brand at the Grand Final of World Travel Awards 2021. The airline has affirmed leadership in this prestigious nomination for the fifth time running.  

The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 in the UK. Every year they are awarded to leading names in the global travel, hospitality and civil aviation industry. Winners are decided by an online vote that attracts travel professionals and consumers. 

Two Russian cities won prizes at the World Travel Awards 2021. Moscow was named ‘World’s Leading City Break Destination’ and ‘World’s Leading Heritage City Destination’. Saint-Petersburg scooped victory in four nominations, including 'World’s Leading Cultural City Destination’. The two cities were jointly awarded for a successful domestic travel marketing campaign.

Aeroflot traditionally receives high praise from both the professional community and travellers. The carrier has recently confirmed its title as Europe’s Leading Airline Brand at the European stage of World Travel Awards. Since 2017, it has been annually recognized as the world’s strongest airline brand according to leading brand strategy consultancy Brand Finance.
