Senior Advisor bei Ubertakeoff

Probably the oddest flight ops, in our opinion, goes to state-owned Aeroflot. On the thrice-daily rotation from Moscow to Dubai, the airline sends its crew one-way to a hotel with all-inclusive catering for a flight time of less than 5 hours. Even on longer flights, such as from Europe to the Canary Islands, crews fly direct returns. The only recognizable purpose is to maintain morale in the war economy, because there is not much left of the popular layovers. Only a few destinations in friendly or ignoring countries can still be flown to: Mahé, Male, Thailand, China or Dubai. The task was how to utilize maximum crew and invent new layovers? So this destination is probably a popular bathing, eating and drinking destination for the 738 and 777 crews at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the heart of Dubai with comparatively low duty time and all inclusive club lounge access. #flightops #aeroflot #crewmorale
