I believe that British, Malev and FinnAir already fly to DME. JL and CX will be switching soon so all their OneWorld pals will be flying in/out of DME.
Interesting pick for a new destination but I just read how the Russian economy is booming so who knows?
I was sure their next European destination would be Budapest once Malev joined OW. The rumor is that it will be Nice, France instead.

DME is a much better airport than SVO, with direct hourly train link into Moscow which costs pennies. There's been a huge amount of investment in DME. I've not experienced the lines at immigration at DME, it seems a smoother process. It's further out then SVO though.
Alot of European airlines switched to DME years back.

I think MOW is a pretty good addition to the network; anything that circumvents LHR is a blessing.
Nice I don't get however. Leisure market, bupkis in the way of onward partner connections, existing DL nonstop from JFK... while airports with good business traffic and better connections in the Mediterranean area go without OW nonstops from the US - MXP, or BCN for instance. Puzzling.
