Russian Federation flag carrier Aeroflot took delivery of five Airbus A310-300s in 1992. Representing the first Western-built aircraft to join the Aeroflot fleet and featuring a bright new livery, the arrival of the A310s in Moscow heralded a new era in the carrier's long history, enabling it to offer new levels of comfort and service on its international route network. The start of A310 operations with Aerflot also marked the first entry into commercial passenger service of a Western-built airliner holding a Russian type certificate.
