MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this domain belongs to PJSC Aeroflot, the flag carrier of Russia founded in 1923. The site is registered to a verified business entity in Moscow and is majority-owned by the Russian government. Technical scans show a clean reputation across our antivirus network and no signs of malicious code or phishing. The current 'access restricted' message visible on the page is a functional notice from the site owner, likely related to regional geoblocking or ongoing technical maintenance. While consumer reviews highlight significant frustrations with refunds and service, these are business-operational issues rather than indicators of a fraudulent website.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on aeroflot.ru and not a lookalike like a-eroflot.ru.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
