The Emirates company flies to the Russian capital since 2003 and at the moment makes two flights Dubai - Moscow daily.

The introduction of the new Emirates Dubai - St. Petersburg route will be a timely response to growing demand from both Russian tourists and UAE residents.
Emirates SkyCargo’s Emirates cargo cargo aircraft, as one of the few wide-body carriers serving St. Petersburg, will also be able to expand their connections with markets such as Japan, India, Singapore, China, South Africa and New Zealand.
