Vadim Besperstov, Director of Emirates Airlines in Russia and the CIS :
– We are pleased to welcome our long-awaited flight to St. Petersburg, as it expands the range of destinations for Russian tourists and business travelers, connecting them with Dubai and more than 120 more destinations of the Emirates global route network. Our hub Dubai is highly popular among Russians who do not need to obtain a visa for a stay of up to 90 days within six months. We expect strong demand for these flights among our customers due to the approaching winter season and the gradual opening of international borders for travel. Pulkovo Airport has long been a valuable partner of Emirates, and we look forward to seeing passengers on board our airliners again.
