Aeroflot and the ROC will also organise projects to promote the development of the Olympic Movement in Russia.

Aeroflot will be granted the right to use Olympic logos in its information, advertising and other activities, as well as sponsored advertising services.

Aeroflot first partnered with the ROC in 1994.
