SIA to fly from Houston to Moscow, Singapore

Singapore Airlines announced the launch of nonstop flights from Houston to Moscow, with continuing service to Singapore, beginning March 20. The four-weekly flights will provide the first direct air link between the Russian capital and the US state of Texas. The new Singapore Airlines service will provide new travel options for both corporate and leisure travelers to Russia, as well as a convenient link to the carrier’s extensive network throughout Asia. The airline will operate its newest Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the route in a three-class configuration: 8 First Class, 42 Business Class and 228 Economy Class seats.

Houston will become SIA’s fifth US gateway, beside Newark, New York-JFK, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
