Emirates boosts Jakarta, KL services
DUBAI – Emirates is launching double-daily services from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur and introducing three additional weekly flights from Dubai to Jakarta, effective May 1.
Richard Vaughan, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, commercial operations worldwide said, “Despite the current economic environment, the Middle East and Far East regions continue to register growth in their travel and tourism industries.
“In the Far East these industries are expected to post average annual gains of 6.3 percent over the coming 10 years.
“While Malaysia continues to be a leading holiday destination, Indonesia is investing significantly in developing its MICE infrastructure in order to get a slice of the bustling conference market in the Far East.
“We are also noticing a growing outbound tourism market from these countries as Malaysians and Indonesians increasingly embark on overseas holidays.â€
Emirates will expand its current daily service from Dubai to Jakarta to 10 flights a week. The three additional flights will operate on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Emirates will add two flights to its existing 12 flights-a-week service to Kuala Lumpur, bringing the total to 14 flights a week.
A First Class cabin service will be introduced on four of the 14 weekly flights to Kuala Lumpur.
