She was a backup once again in 2001, for Italian astronaut Roberto Vittori during the Soyuz TM-34 mission. In May 2004, after an announcement that female cosmonauts would not be flying for several years, she retired from the service to become a commercial pilot for Russian carrier Aeroflot. As of 2007, Kuzhelnaya was one of two female pilots who flew the Tupolev Tu-134, compared to around a thousand male pilots, then Airbus A320 and Airbus A330.
