Emirates pares back China operations
DUBAI – Emirates will cut flights between Dubai and its two destinations in China – Beijing and Shanghai, with effect from March 29. 


The airline currently operates 14 services a week each to both Beijing and Shanghai. And the planned cuts will bring that down to 12 flights a week each, according to an Emirates spokesperson. 


Starting March 29, Emirates will not operate EK 304/305 (Dubai-Shanghai-Dubai) on Tuesdays and EK 308/309 (Dubai-Beijing-Dubai) on Sundays.
From July 1 the same services will not operate on Mondays and Thursdays respectively,” the spokesperson told Emirates Business. 


Emirates said the decision was made after a routine review of operations to ensure the best utilisation of its aircraft fleet.
Emirates’ Guangzhou route will remain unchanged with daily flights, the spokesperson added.
Meanwhile, India’s Kingfisher Airlines has put off its plan to launch Dubai services until June, according to an airline source. The airline had earlier hoped to launch the Dubai route on March 7, but has now deferred it given the current slowdown in air travel and declining airfares
