Emirates doubles up in Spain

Tuesday, 27 Jan, 2012 0

Emirates will launch Barcelona as its second passenger gateway into Spain from July 3, after doubling frequencies to Madrid from July 1.

President Tim Clark said Emirates was making a very significant investment in Spain.

“To announce a new destination and a doubling of services to an existing gateway at the same time demonstrates our belief in the market and our commitment to the country,” he said

“Madrid has been a strong performer and the demand is there for a second frequency, while we need a second point serving the dynamic Catalonia region.”

The new three-class Barcelona flight, EK 185, serviced by 360-seat Boeing 777-300ER, will leave Dubai daily at 0655hrs and arrive in Barcelona at 1200hrs. The return service, EK 186, leaves Barcelona at 1640hrs and lands in Dubai at 0100hrs the following day.
