Aeroflot received 2.09 billion rubles ($75 million) in net profit in the first quarter of this year, compared with 228.8 million rubles in the fourth quarter of last year, the company reported Tuesday.
Passenger flow grew by 18.8 percent in the first quarter, although that figure is not as positive as the company's 28.5 percent increase for the full year in 2010.
The company received more than 2 billion rubles by Russian accounting standards in additional income from sales of shares in its subsidiaries.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
