Emirates has been serving the Russian market since July 2003 and already flies twice daily to Domodedovo on Airbus A380 and Boeing B777-300ER and daily to St Petersburg.

The new service will be operated by an Emirates Boeing B777-300ER in a three class cabin configuration, with eight private suites in first class, 42 lie flat seats in business class and 310 seats in economy.

The new flight aims to allow seamless connectivity to Moscow from several popular destinations in Emirates’ and flydubai’s combined route network and convenient connection with a wide network of domestic flights operated by Emirates codeshare partner in Russia - S7 Airlines.
