Aigle Azur to launch flights to Ukraine, Russia

French leisure carrier Aigle Azur will push eastward this spring with the launch of flights to Kiev in Ukraine and Moscow Domodedovo in Russia. The airline will begin a 3X-weekly service from Paris Orly to Kiev April 18, using an Airbus A320 configured with 12 business- and 168 economy-class seats. Prior to that, March 27 the carrier will begin twice-weekly A320 flights between Marseilles and Moscow Domodedovo. “This improvement in the service to Russia is part of an ongoing development strategy initiated by our CE, Frantz Yvelin, and completes our schedule of flights to Moscow already established by services from our base in Orly,” Aigle Azur sales and marketing director Tiago Martins said. Aigle Azur last year branched into the long-haul market following the acquisition of 2 Airbus A330-200s. <br/>
