Aeroflot has begun consolidating its Russian Far East operations ahead of the imminent launch of its new subsidiary, Aurora. Extensive ch-aviation research has revealed that, in addition to retiring its fleet of six Tu-204-300s from revenue service on October 26, Vladivostok Air has now suspended its Moscow Sheremetyevo as well as regional flights operated with its Yak-40s and all international services. Operations are now restricted to the Russian Far East using its remaining six A320-200s. Meanwhile, sister carrier, SAT Airlines has yet to rebrand itself into Aurora; this is only expected to occur later this year when the airline takes delivery of its first Aeroflot A319-100s. As it stands, SAT's domestic B737 operations (two B737-200s and a B737-500) now operate using Aeroflot flight numbers though it still retains its own flight numbers on regional Dash 8-300-operated routes as well as on flights to Harbin, Sapporo Chitose and Seoul Incheon. In the longrun, as the first A319-100s begin to arrive, more flights will be launched/taken over from Vladivostok Air. All A319s will operate under Aeroflot flight numbers on a wet-lease basis.
