Emirates is upgrading one of the two daily flights servicing its Dubai-Moscow route to an A380-800, commencing Dec. 1.
Since Emirates started flying from its Dubai hub to Moscow in 2003, the airline has carried about 3.5 million passengers on the route. Over the past 12 months, demand has increased, with some 400,000 passengers having traveled on the route.
The increased level of passenger support and demand has led to Emirates’ decision to bring its A380 to the Russian capital, setting a new product quality level in the market.
From the beginning of December, on flight EK131/132, the three-class A380-800 will offer 14 private suites in First Class and 76 fully flat-bed mini-pods in Business Class on the upper deck.
It will also provide onboard shower spas for First Class passengers and the Emirates Onboard Lounge, where First Class and Business Class passengers can socialize at 40,000 feet, “both products being unique to the Russian market.”
An additional 426 seats in Economy, gives a total of 516 seats on the aircraft, increasing the number of seats on the route by 23 percent.
Moscow joins more than 40 Emirates A380 destination cities, offering Russian travelers the airline’s best-in-class onboard product and renowned service.
Passengers in all cabins can enjoy Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice Digital Widescreen, which offers more than 2,500 channels of films, TV programs, music and podcasts. Passengers travelling on the A380 can stay easily connected to family, friends and colleagues with free onboard Wi-Fi.
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.
