Moscow from the East

HONG KONG AIRLINES, the independent carrier, will launch scheduled services between Hong Kong and Moscow in June, competing directly with Cathay Pacific who introduced its own three times weekly flights on 28 March.  The inauguration of this new long haul route is a major milestone in the airline's aggressive expansion plan.  The four times a week service will be operated by a brand new two-class Airbus A330-200.  Hong Kong Airlines was established in 2001 followed by sister company Hong Kong Express in 2004. www.hongkongairlines.com
