WOOD Flash – Aeroflot: 2Q21 – strong domestic traffic, Pobeda growing fast, low volumes but high prices in international

Aeroflot posted an encouraging set of 2Q21 figures last week. While overcapacity in the domestic segment continues to affect yields, the pressure is not as strong as we had expected, and pricing in the international segment was exceptionally strong, driven by restricted capacity and excess demand. In terms of volumes, the Russian domestic market continues to post stellar numbers, with RPK nearly 40% above the 2019 level in June. The strong performance of the domestic segment is helping to offset the recovering, but still low, volumes in international flights. Pobeda, Aeroflot’s low-cost arm, continues to expand rapidly, and was profitable in the first half of the year, despite the market-wide pressure on domestic yields.
