After the World War II, Aeroflot operated regular flights to the GDR. The air transport between the USSR and the FRG was opened on February 21 1872, with the Moscow – Frankfurt line. Regular flights Moscow – Dresden – Moscow were performed from 1972 through 1993 when the line was suspended.
Today Dresden is the seventh German city linked to Moscow by Aeroflot flights. Aeroflot performs 12-13 regular flights from Moscow to the destinations in Germany – Berlin, Frankfurt-am-Mein, Dusseldorf, Munich, Hamburg and Hannover, and now, Dresden.
