Hardly surprising. Moscow was always on my list of places to visit, but in the current climate I would rather go to so many other places instead.

interesting to see what they do with the planes - I was a bit surprised to see MUC - VIE also suspended (which seemed about 3/4 sold most times I took it); wonder if they are trying to decrease the fleet or if they potentially will reshuffle some of their routes...
