Emirates launches trans-Atlantic service
Emirates will launch a direct service between Milan and New York, the airline’s only trans-Atlantic service, from October 1.
Customers will be able to seamlessly connect from points all over the U.S., including the West Coast, taking advantage of Emirates’ partnership with JetBlue, and across Europe, maximizing the airline’s frequent flyer partnership with easyJet.
"Operating a trans-Atlantic route has been on our agenda for some time. The route is currently underserved, particularly with a strong premium product offering," said Tim Clark, president Emirates.
Operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, the flight will be an extension of one of Emirates’ existing three daily, Dubai to Milan flights.
Emirates flight EK205 will depart Dubai at 09:05hrs arriving in Milan at 13:50hrs, the flight will then depart Milan at 16:00hrs arriving in New York at 19:00hrs the same day.
The return journey on flight EK206 will depart New York at 22:20hrs arriving in Milan at 12:15hrs the following day before departing for Dubai at 14:00hrs, touching down in Dubai at 22:05.
