Aeroflot to increase frequency of flights to the Maldives

Russian Aviaton » Thursday April 30, 2026 18:56 MSK

Aeroflot is increasing the frequency of flights to the Maldives.

From 17 June to 29 August, the airline will operate two additional weekly flights between Moscow and Malé. Flights will be operated on Boeing 777 aircraft in a three-class layout: Economy, Comfort, and Business. Departures from Sheremetyevo Airport are scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays, with return flights from the Maldivian capital on Thursdays and Saturdays. As a result, the frequency of flights to the Maldives during the summer months will reach nine per week.

The additional flights are expected to be in high demand among tourists. The Maldives is a year-round resort destination and has traditionally been a favorite among lovers of exotic holidays.

At the end of 2025, Aeroflot reported that it had transferred its flights to the newest terminal of Malé International Airport.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
