Etihad Airways on Monday launched its maiden Moscow flight from its home-base at Abu Dhabi airport.

The five flights a week service to the Russian capital will be followed by a new service to the Kazakhstan commercial capital Almaty, which starts on Tuesday, bringing the total number of destinations served by the carrier to 50.

"Since we announced this route earlier in the year, we have seen strong interest in it, both from UAE travellers and from customers transitting through our Abu Dhabi hub from cities around the world.”

The Russian capital will be Etihad’s 11th destination in its flight network in the Europe region which already includes services to Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, Geneva, London, Manchester, Milan, Minsk, Munich and Paris.
