Aeroflot has launched ticket sales for scheduled direct flights from Moscow to Osaka, Japan’s third city, beginning on June 1, 2020.

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. The Russian flag carrier offers convenient and fast transfers through its hub at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, with total travel times up to three hours shorter than those of competitors in Europe and Asia.

Flights will operate on the following schedule (all times local):

Moscow-Osaka

Flight SU0268 departs Sheremetyevo at 19:05 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, arriving at Kansai at 11:05 the following day.

Osaka-Moscow

Flight SU0269 departs Kansai at 12:45 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving at Sheremetyevo at 16:45 the same day.

Osaka is Aeroflot’s second destination in Japan. The Russian flag carrier has operated daily scheduled flights to Tokyo since 1967.

Aeroflot is Russia’s flagship carrier and a proud member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. Aeroflot serves 149 destinations in 53 countries.
