Airlines slash flights to Moscow in latest sign of Russia's growing isolation
London
IN 2012, British discount airline easyJet beat Virgin Atlantic Airways in a fierce competition for the rights to fly from London's Gatwick to Moscow's Domodedovo airport, a route that became available when its former operator was swallowed up in a merger. British aviation regulators gave the nod to easyJet, which hailed the decision as a milestone in its international development.
Now, easyJet has scaled back its London-Moscow service, from two daily flights to only one in each direction. The move, which took effect in late January, "was in response to the reduction in demand to and from Russia in recent months", an airline spokeswoman says.
