“Goa is a popular tourist destination among Russians. We are starting our three-times-a-week flights on the Moscow-Goa-Moscow route. It marks the expansion of our Indian services in response to customer demand,” sources from the Russian airline said.
With tourist season right around the corner, Goa is a major route for Russian carriers, with many Russians making up the majority of visitors to the beach city.
The flight will offer more than just a convenient connection for passengers. These new services together will add a weekly cargo capacity of around 30 tons between India and Russia and are expected to plug the gap to some extent in supply chain issues that Russia is facing amid global sanctions.
