Does Aeroflot fly to Abu Dhabi, and are the flights reliable (delays, rerouting)?
Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Yes, Aeroflot operates flights to Abu Dhabi (not just Dubai), but the route can be adjusted mid-flight depending on airspace permissions — sometimes with detours, sometimes nearly direct — and departures may see minor delays.
What the community said
The flight path is planned as standard but gets adjusted based on the current situation and airport/airspace permissions along the way.

In practice, the outbound flight took a detour route, but the return flight — though scheduled for a detour too — went almost direct (only routing around Sochi and nearby zones), landing 1.5 hours ahead of schedule.

Flights from Yekaterinburg have recently been experiencing regular but short departure delays; return flights, on the other hand, tend to run on schedule.

It's worth researching alternative routes out of Abu Dhabi in advance in case your return flight gets cancelled, since other airlines' flights can also be unpredictable.
