EMBATTLED China Eastern Airlines is set to expand its European operations, with plans to resume London and Moscow services on March 28.
Both points will be served four times a week from Shanghai after they were pulled previously for operational reasons.
The expansion follows the Shanghai-based carrier's order last month for 16 A330s in a US$2.6 billion contract with Airbus. The airline, which is due to merge with loss-making city rival Shanghai Airlines, plans to deploy the new aircraft - arriving between 2011 and 2014 - to Europe, the US and Australia as expansion of China's high-speed rail network takes a bite out of domestic revenue.
