Aeroflot has announced it has launched ticket sales for scheduled direct flights from Moscow to Osaka, Japan, beginning June 1, 2020, the company said.
The addition of a second destination in Japan strengthens Aeroflot´s offering on transit routes to Asia from Europe and North America, which forms a key part of the airline´s strategy.
