Cathay Pacific announces three times weekly Hong Kong to Moscow

Cathay Pacific Airways has announced that it intends to launch a new scheduled service from its base in Hong Kong to fly to Moscow, capital of the Russian Federation.
Subject to Government approval the flight will begin operating in Summer 2101 with a three times each week service using an AIrbus A340 aircraft with Business and  economy cabins.

Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Tony Tyler said: "Moscow has been on our radar screen for some time now. This planned addition to our network underlines Cathay Pacific's commitment to develop new markets, and our ongoing work to strengthen Hong Kong as one of the world's leading international aviation hubs. "We expect Moscow will develop quickly as a prime destination for business and leisure travellers from this part of the world. "Our strong network will enable us to offer great connections for travellers from Moscow through the Hong Kong hub to our Southeast Asian destinations and to Mainland China with our sister airline Dragonair. "Travel demand between the two cities is showing substantial growth thanks in no small part to the visa-free access enjoyed by passport holders of the HKSAR and the Russian Federation."
