Emirates boosts Paris flights
Dubai’s Emirates Airline is to boost its weekly scheduled flights to Paris by more than third by the end of 2012.
Emirates will add a further four flights a week to Charles de Gaulle airport from March 25, in addition to its existing double-daily schedule.
Emirates said it would increase this to five additional weekly flights in the northern winter of 2012, in response to a rise in demand from passengers.
“Demand to and from France, particularly from business travellers, is such that a third frequency has always been an objective for Emirates,†said Salem Obaidalla, senior vice president of commercial operations for Europe and the Russian Federation.
A deal signed by UAE and French aviation authorities in January gave flagship airlines Etihad, Emirates and Air Arabia the right to add a combined 22 weekly flights to France.
The countries also agreed to add Bordeaux as the sixth destination for UAE airlines, alongside Paris, Nice, Lyons, Marseilles and Toulouse.
