Aeroflot, Russia's largest civil aviation company, has announced plans to supply its aviation-related software and technologies to foreign countries and organizations.
"Yesterday, my colleagues and I at Aeroflot discussed the issue of exports, specifically regarding the export of software and technical solutions related to the aviation sector," said the company's CEO, Sergei Alexandrovsky, during the National Aviation Infrastructure Exhibition in Russia. "We are holding discussions on this matter with airlines outside of Russia, but the difficulty lies in the fact that most foreign airlines use internationally certified software, and encouraging them to use our products is extremely difficult. Nevertheless, we have this goal, and we have products that we can actually offer."
The CEO of Aeroflot also identified the most promising software and technical solutions that can be offered to foreign airlines, pointing to a local system for continuing aircraft airworthiness, which will enter commercial operation next June, in addition to a revenue management system.
Aeroflot’s Deputy General Manager of Information Technology stated last year that the company is actively implementing modern digital technologies, including artificial intelligence solutions, to improve workflow and enhance flight safety, and that it relies on local software developed by its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
Last year, the company also launched an electronic application that allows travelers to search for and purchase flight tickets, book flights, and facilitates their check-in at airports online. Among the features of this application is that it ensures high loading speed, easy browsing, minimal consumption of device memory, and automatic updates to the latest veron when the application is run. It also supports authentication via fingerprint or facial recognition, which ensures fast and secure access to the personal account.
