OREANDA-NEWS. For the first time in its history Aeroflot held an instameet at its own training facility located at Moscow Sheremetyevo airport.

The project #TrainingAeroflot joined popular Russian bloggers in a private meeting at Aeroflot training center.

Aeroflot’s instameet is the first event within the large-scale project #Training enabling Instagram users to enhance their photo skills.
