Russian carrier Aeroflot has recorded a 26 million ruble ($35 million) Q2 loss as the firm was forced to halt almost all international flights since March.
“The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has had an unprecedented impact on the global aviation industry,” the firm said in a statement accompying the results.
“Almost complete halting of all international flights at the end of March 2020 as well as restrictions introduced on domestic flights led to a drastic decrease in passenger numbers in Q2 and 6M 2020, and had a significant impact on PJSC Aeroflot's financial results,” Aeroflot added.
Aeroflot saw its Q2 2020, passenger turnover decrease by 92.1% year-on-year, following the almost complete halting of international flights and a significant reduction in domestic flights due to quarantine-related travel restrictions in certain regions of Russia.
