Aeroflot, as Aeroflot — Soviet Airlines, began service to British Columbia in 1978 with a service between Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport and Vancouver in Vancouver, with an intermediate stop in Vladivostok. Initially operated with Ilyushin Il-62 aircraft, from 1991 the Ilyushin Il-96 was used. The Il-96 was replaced on the route in 2013 by the Airbus A330-300 until the introduction of the Boeing 777-300ER to the service in 2019.

In 1989, Aeroflot began a new service between Magadan in the Soviet Far East and Vancouver, flying via Anchorage, Alaska, USA using Tupolev Tu-154 trijets. In 1993 this operation was taken over by the newly established Magadan Airlines; in 1995 the Vancouver–Anchorage section was discontinued.
