Gatwick Airport bolstered its connections into emerging markets today when easyJet launched its flights to Moscow.
Dancers welcomed passengers at the airport this morning for the service’s first departure, which is easyJet’s 100th route from Gatwick. The airline also marked its first day in the FTSE 100 today.
The Moscow addition comes as Gatwick prepares to welcome flights to and from Jakarta, Indonesia in Q4, South East Asia’s largest economy. The airport already provides flights into Beijing, Istanbul and Vietnam.
“We are proud to add Moscow to the list of destinations we fly to, which follows the addition of new daily services to other key growth markets. Gatwick Airport is playing a crucial role in supporting the UK’s growth by making the best use of existing capacity and delivering the direct connections that are needed to grow exports and inward investment with key markets,” said Stewart Wingate, CEO of Gatwick.
