In Saint Petersburg representative office veterans wrote in the guest book: “We thank cordially Aeroflot for care of us, veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Most of us could make no flight from the Soviet period. You made our dream come true – see a new country, new places, experience partially forgotten feelings. Thank you very much!”

The company is sincerely pleased a number of its May guests-veterans increases from year to year; Aeroflot made everything possible in order to make the flight a real holiday for every veteran.
