Aeroflot operates their international flights from Moscow Sheremetyevo’s Terminal C.

A festive atmosphere was created for today’s inaugural flight to Punta Cana with a Latin American music and dance performance. Once onboard, each guest received souvenirs and welcome drinks, including Champagne and Dominican rum. Upon arrival in Punta Cana, the A350 was greeted with a traditional water cannon arch salute. For Russian citizens, the Dominican Republic is visa-free and a negative COVID-19 test is not required.
