MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Aeroflot's long-standing contract with English football club Manchester United is projected to have increased the airline's annual foreign passenger traffic by at least 6 percent, the Russian carrier's CEO, Vitaly Saveliev, said Monday.

"I want to note that Manchester United gives us a significant increase of [foreign] passenger traffic, we estimate it at more than 6 percent," Saveliev told the annual meeting of Aeroflot shareholders.
