Emirates has unveiled major new expansion plans for the United States with the launch next year of daily services to Seattle and Dallas.
Dallas-Fort Worth and Seattle-Tacoma International Airports will both be served by non-stop flights.
“These new services emphasise Emirates’ confidence in, and long-term commitment to, the United States,†said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline & Group.
“We have always been ahead of the curve in anticipating what is now becoming an accepted truth – that demand for air travel will continue to grow over the long term in spite of the many challenges the industry faces.â€
