DUBAI – Emirates airline will launch the first-ever scheduled A380 service to Moscow on Dec. 1, the company said.
The airline's 517-seat version of the A380 will replace the Boeing 777-300ER on one of its two daily flights to Domodedovo Airport. "Domodedovo is the first and the only Russian airport that meets the requirements of A380 operators," said Domodedovo director Igor Borisov. "We are fully prepared to handle A380 flights on a regular basis, having purchased the unique equipment designed to serve only this type of aircraft."
In November, Emirates chose St. Petersburg as its second gateway into Russia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
