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.

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.
