American Airlines is to launch its first service between Russia and the US in June.
It will start non-stop service six days per week between Moscow Domodedovo and Chicago O’Hare on June 3, subject to government approvals.
American will fly the new route with two-class Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 221 seats, including 30 Next Generation Business Class seats.
Craig Kreeger, senior vice president international said: “The Russian economy is booming and many of the top 100 US corporations are doing business there so the time is right to begin serving Moscow.”
