The total value of the real estate is not yet known, said Vladimir Sergunin, director of business development at Colliers International, Vedomosti reported.

Aeroflot acquired the properties — some of which are centrally located in European capitals — during the Soviet period when it was trying to promote its image abroad, an airline spokesman said.

The largest property for sale is a 4,700-square-meter complex in Tomisato, Japan, worth about $38 million, said the manager of a company that participates in Aeroflot tenders.
