Emirates doubles up in Spain
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.
