==Incidents and accidents==
There are records of approximately 127 accidents involving Aeroflot aircraft and 6,875 fatalities (plus 20 people killed on the ground), making an average of 54.13 fatalities per accident since 1953<ref>http://www.airdisaster.com/cgi-bin/airline_detail.cgi?airline=Aeroflot AirDisaster.com Accident Data</ref>. It is worth noting with these figures that Aeroflot had a monopoly on air travel during the Soviet era, and was the largest airline in the world, and performed a myriad of other functions in addition to passenger travel. The last incident with fatalities occurred in 1994:

*On [[23 March]] [[1994]], a RAL-Russian Air Lines [[Airbus A310]]-304, operating [[Aeroflot Flight 593]] crashed in [[Mezhdurechensk]], [[Siberia]] after the pilot allowed his 15-year-old son to take the controls. This was the most recent disaster involving Aeroflot.
