Brussels Airlines has launched a direct route to Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, with the carrier saying in a statement it was moving its Moscow route to Sheremetyevo because the airport is "among the first choice of corporate travellers."
Brussels Airlines stated Sheremetyevo was an attractive airport because of its proximity to the centre of Moscow.
Alexander Ponomarenko, chairman of the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo International Airport, said: "We are pleased to welcome Brussels Airlines to Sheremetyevo. The airline's decision to move its route is a testament to the infrastructure development we have done over the past few years at SVO. As we continue to improve and expand Sheremetyevo in accordance with our Development Plan, we look forward to welcoming additional carriers to Sheremetyevo."
The flight from Sheremetyevo to Brussels runs four times a week on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
