Could we about to see another airline on the Moscow route?
Aeroflot have previously (August 2012) applied for the rights to serve MAN 7 times per week, and was granted.
Now, Aeroflot have announced they have gained the Manchester United sponsorship, which now adds a large advertising presence in both the city and hopefully Russia.
Also, when an airline sponsors a team, it usually flies to that teams city (Etihad/Man City/MAN, Delta/Chelsea/LHR, Monarch/Leeds/LBA and previously Turkish Airlines/Barcelona and Man United/MAN and BCN). Hopefully Aeroflot will follow the trend.
At the very least we will see a few charters for the team, but I for one certainly hope it leads to more.
