Starting November 1 of this year, Emirates will begin operating daily flights to St. Petersburg. On the Emirates flight map, the city on the Neva will be the northernmost point. The St. Petersburg direction will be served by Airbus A340-300 and A330-200 airliners, offering flights in the first, economic and business class.
Flight EK 137 will depart from Dubai at 10.35 and land in St. Petersburg at 16.15. The return flight from St. Petersburg will depart at 17.45 and arrive in Dubai at 00.35.
Emirates has been flying to the Russian capital since 2003 and currently has two flights on the Dubai – Moscow route daily. The UAE is one of the most popular destinations among Russian tourists and businessmen. The introduction of the new Emirates Dubai - St. Petersburg route will be a timely response to growing demand from both Russian tourists and UAE residents.
Emirates SkyCargo’s Emirates cargo cargo aircraft, as one of the few wide-body carriers serving St. Petersburg, will also be able to expand their connections with markets such as Japan, India, Singapore, China, South Africa and New Zealand.
