For the first time, customers on British Airways' London
Heathrow to Moscow service will be able to sample the airline’s
award-winning services in First and business class from next year.
The changes were announced during a UK trade delegation to Russia hosted by Prime
Minister, David Cameron, alongside several major British business leaders.
British Airways has three return flights to Moscow Domodedevo
airport per day. From April 2012, this route will change from a short-haul service
operated with two cabins to a long-haul operation offering customers up to four
classes of travel. This means customers will have the opportunity to enjoy the
airline’s fully flat-beds, comprehensive in-flight entertainment and sample a wide
selection of meals and drinks in unrivalled comfort. No other airline currently
offers such a premium service on the four-hour flight between the two capital cities.
Sir Martin Broughton, chairman of British Airways, who accompanied David Cameron to
Moscow to represent British business, said: "We are proud to have been flying to
Russia for over fifty years. It is an important and growing market for us and we
want to reflect our commitment to the region and our customers by enhancing our
services and increasing the number of seats that are available to Moscow."
British Airways has close ties with leading Russian airline, S7. The two airlines
are members of the oneworld alliance and launched a code-share agreement earlier
this year which means that customers can experience a seamless service between the
UK and many destinations in Russia, transferring at Domodedovo airport. Both
airlines' customers benefit from competitive through fares, co-ordinated schedules
and excellent customer service. It is hoped that the codeshare agreement will be
expanded in the coming months so that even more parts of Russia will be linked by
air services to the UK.
