	Aeroflot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In January 1971 the Aeroflot Central Administration of International Air Traffic was established within the framework of IATA, and became the industry's sole enterprise authorised to operate international flights.
		Aeroflot's Western-made fleet is relatively young, whereas most of the Russian jets (except for Il-96s) are due to retire between 2005 and 2008.
		Aeroflot flights were further suspended on December 29, 1981, in response to Soviet actions in Poland [2], and again on September 15, 1983, in response to the Soviet Union's shoot-down of Korean Air Flight 007 over its territory [3].

	USATODAY.com - Travel - News - Russian airline Aeroflot seeks to shed Soviet-era image (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
		Aeroflot, still 51 percent state-owned, has also been involved in a long-running embezzlement scandal in which top executives were accused of funneling funds into accounts controlled by Boris Berezovsky, a self-exiled Russian business tycoon now living in London.
		Aeroflot has also commissioned Russian designers to come up with new crew uniforms and has narrowed the field to five finalists — all more stylish than their severe-looking predecessor.
		But Aeroflot now says it is keeping the logo, not out of nostalgia for the Soviet past, but because it has been the internationally recognized face of the airline for 70 years.

		Aeroflot flies with the millstone of a widespread perception that it has been - and may still be - perhaps the worst major airline anywhere.
