UAE-based budget airline Air Arabia is set to launch flights to Sheremetyevo International Airport in Russia from its hub in Sharjah starting from February 1.

This is the second airport Air Arabia serves in Moscow, boosting the flight to daily serve the Russian capital with a double daily frequency, said a statement from Air Arabia.

The flight to Sheremetyevo International Airport complements the airline’s existing daily services to Moscow’s Domodedovo International Airport.
 
The flight will operate four times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) at 9.10am, and arriving at Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) at 1.35pm local time. The return flight will depart Sheremetyevo at 2:35pm, landing in Sharjah at 8.45pm, it stated.
 
The UAE lowcost carrier said it will upgrade to a daily Sheremetyevo flight starting from March 1, 2018 thus joining the current daily flight to Domodedovo to serve the city of Moscow with a double daily frequency.
 
On the new flights, Group CEO Adel Al Ali said: "We are pleased to serve Moscow’s two busiest airports providing our customers with choice and convenience. Our flights to Moscow cater to a lively market that is made up of both leisure and business travelers."

"With the launch of our flights to Sheremetyevo, passengers can now benefit from additional travel options to connect to Russia from Sharjah and other destinations in our network," he noted.
 
Moscow is home to some of the world's most incredible architecture and holds a history that is unique and unparalleled. Eternally showcasing its majestic artistry, combined with experiences that provide an incomparable thrill, Moscow is truly a city that leaves no stone unturned.
