How good are Aeroflot's current safety and performance standards?

It depends a lot on where you’re flying. Also Aeroflot was a different airline pre 1991, when it got broken up into all the subsidiary ex-Soviet state airlines. So I’d concentrate on after that, as it also affected maintenance standards and the like.

As far as timeliness of flights goes, it depends on your flight – but Flightstats has the details. Overall 76% are on time. 7% are ‘excessively late’.

You also have to realise how BIG Aeroflot used to be before the breakup in 1991. Sure it had about 3 crashes every year, but it was also huge. A discussion of the realities behind these statistics is quite an informative and interesting read.

Finally, a blog post “How to survive Aeroflot“. Worth a look if you’re considering flying with them.

Last accident was at 2008 (more info) and it actually happened with their subsidiary company. There is great difference between domestic and international flights, second are much better both in terms of service and safety. I flew from Russia to NYC for 650$ and everything was perfect, I expected much worse.
