According to CCTV News, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency announced on 14 July 2025 local time that the first flight from Moscow to Pyongyang is scheduled to open on 27 July 2025, with a flight time of about 8 hours. After that, the flight will operate at a frequency of one flight per month to cultivate a stable passenger source and ensure the sustainable operation of the route.

According to Nordwind Airlines' schedules, its B777-200ER flight N46107 leaves Moscow Sheremetyevo for Pyongyang at 7 pm on 27 July 2025, touches down in Pyongyang at 9.05 am local time before taking off from Pyongyang for Moscow Sheremetyevo at 10.05 am and arriving in Moscow at 11.45 am under flight N46108.

The launch of the route re-establishes a direct air link between the two capitals, which currently lack regular commercial flights. Currently, travelers traveling between Russia and North Korea must rely on alternative and less direct modes of transportation, such as charter flights or land routes through China.
