Starting with the summer flight schedules, Lufthansa is flying to Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport as a new destination in its route network.

The twice-daily flights from Frankfurt will supplement the airline’s existing services to Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport.

Lufthansa will then be laying on six connections daily to the Russian capital as from March 25.

Moscow, with a population of 14.6 million, constitutes the biggest metropolitan region in Europe ahead of Istanbul and London.

Of the major international airports serving Moscow, Vnukovo is the closest to the city centre. It takes but 35 minutes to get there on the express train. A spokesman for the airline said additionally, the new Lufthansa destination offers good communications to the Kaluga industrial base, a centre of the automotive industry, where a number of foreign companies have established assembly plants.

All in all, with the flights to Moscow-Vnukovo, Lufthansa will be laying on a total of 153 weekly connections between Germany and Russia to nine destinations, remarked the spokesman.

Besides the flights to the two Moscow airports, the airline is flying to Nizhniy Novgorod, Perm, Samara, Kazan, St Petersburg, Rostov and Yekatarinburg.
