Air Malta has moved its Malta-Moscow operation to Sheremetyevo Airport Terminal E, the airport's newest terminal inaugurated in 2010.

The airline's timetable has remained unchanged operating a twice weekly service departing from Malta every Friday and Saturday and from Moscow every Saturday and Sunday.

Sheremetyevo airport is the largest and most modern airport in Russia and one of the top 10 fastest growing airports in Europe. It handles over 31 million passengers and 265,000 aircraft movements every year.

Located northwest of central Moscow, the airport is served by a variety of efficient transport modes. It is just 35 minutes away from the city center by the Aeroexpress train.

The airport's 20 million people catchment area covers regions with the biggest concentration of business headquarters and the highest income per capita.

Sheremetyevo Airport provides Air Malta with more operational flexibility and fits perfectly with the airline's strategy to offer customers the best central airports with easy onward connections.

Sheremetyevo Airport is a hub of Air Malta's code share partner, Aeroflot, the National Airline of Russia. Through this code-sharing Sheremetyevo will offer Air Malta customers over 30 destinations within Russia.

Air Malta is committed to the Moscow route and is the only airline offering connectivity between both countries supporting businesses and assisting the development of further tourism opportunities.

Moscow is a city rich in history, art and culture. It boasts several wellknown marvels such as Red Square, the Kremlin and the famous Bolshoi Theatre. It is one of Europe's most vibrant metropolis of more than 10 million people.
