More Information:

Overall, it looks amazing. Pairing this with its new business class (Aeroflot Reveals New AMAZING Business Class For Its A350 (With Doors!)) this aircraft will be a true competitor in the market.

Can’t wait to see it in the sky!

What a beautiful aircraft for a great company!

That new livery though - not a fan of it.

Edit: actually taking a look at it more closely, I think it’s much better than the older one!

Dude this livery looks unreal! The new Aeroflot livery looks great!

Looks so much better in real life than renders. Cool to see it named after the famous composer aswell!

Ishrion · January 13, 2020, 4:32pm

Woah, I didn’t even see that! Tchaikovsky is amazing.

NeperQiell · January 13, 2020, 4:35pm

Why did no one tag me? Now the devs could add the updated livery to the game as that is one fine livery

Alex · January 13, 2020, 4:49pm

Requesting in three, two, one…

Altaria55 · January 13, 2020, 4:55pm

So, basically the same livery, but a white body rather than silver?

Gwen · January 13, 2020, 4:56pm

Wow, beautiful but quite similar to SAS I agree

Mattheus · January 13, 2020, 4:57pm

Pretty much, they look overly similar to me.

Altaria55 · January 13, 2020, 4:57pm

Heh. At least Aeroflot kept the lovely tail design, whereas SAS just painted it a darker shade of blue.

Mattheus · January 13, 2020, 4:57pm

But its so eurowhite…

Mike_Lima_Tango · January 13, 2020, 5:01pm

Definitely missing the grey but overall I’m a fan!

I always loved their taildesigns, with the waving flag. I do miss the silver on the body but on the other hand, their design on the winglets is awesome🤩🤩

Vidal99977 · January 13, 2020, 10:15pm

Looks very clean!

Qantas094 · January 13, 2020, 10:35pm

Oh this new livery looks awesome on the A350. Good choice Aeroflot.
