Emirates Airline has announced that it will be upgrading one of the two daily flights servicing its Dubai-Moscow route to an A380-800, starting on December 1.
Since Emirates started flying from its Dubai hub to Moscow in 2003, the airline has carried almost 3.5 million passengers on the route, the airline said in a statement.
It said that over the past 12 months, demand has increased, with some 400,000 passengers having travelled on the route.
The increased level of passenger support and demand has led to Emirates’ decision to bring its A380 superjumbo to the Russian capital.
From the beginning of December, on flight EK131/132, the three-class A380-800 will offer an additional 426 seats in Economy, increasing the number of seats on the route by 23 percent.
Moscow joins more than 40 Emirates A380 destination cities.
In March this year, Emirates and S7 Airlines, based at Domodedovo Airport announced an extended codeshare agreement on more than 30 Russian routes increasing connectivity and benefits for customers across Russia.
The extended partnership also created a direct link under Emirates’ code between St Petersburg and Moscow, allowing visitors to experience Russia’s two largest cities with a single travel itinerary.
