Rating of the largest airlines in Russia is impossiblesubmit without "Transaero". This company always goes side by side with Aeroflot and concedes only in some numbers. If you look at the rating by the number of traffic with international traffic, then this carrier would undoubtedly take the first place.

This is not surprising, because "Transaero" carries outtransportation to all five continents, connects the largest cities in the world and allows our compatriots to travel without borders.
