Emirates will introduce a fifth daily flight between Dubai and Singapore starting 1st August 2014.
This will bring Emirates’ total number of flights between the two cities to 35 a week, with 28 non-stop services and seven flights via Colombo, in addition to Emirates’ daily services from Singapore to Brisbane and Melbourne.
“The introduction of our fifth daily service between Dubai and Singapore is a reflection of the growing passenger demand for flights between these two important global business, trade and tourism hubs. The increased frequency will give our customers greater flexibility in their travel plans allowing them to connect seamlessly to other flights on Emirates’ extensive global network,” said Barry Brown, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations East.
“Emirates began flights to Singapore in 1990 and this extra service demonstrates our commitment to this market and the importance of Singapore to our global network.” Mr Brown added.
Singapore remains an important gateway in the Far East & Australasia region for Emirates, connecting passengers to Melbourne, Brisbane, Colombo and Dubai, and onward to 35 destinations in Europe, nine destinations in the United States, more than 20 destinations in Africa along with connections across the Middle East.
Emirates will operate a 364-seat Boeing 777-300, with 12 First Class seats, 42 Business Class seats and 310 Economy Class seats, for this additional Dubai - Singapore non-stop service.
