Emirates to fly kids for free
DUBAI – Emirates Airline has dismissed suggestions that its latest promotion, offering children free flights, accommodation and meals in Dubai, is being launched in reaction to a drop in demand for seats.
The Dubai-based carrier told Arabian Business that offering families affordable packages to visit the emirate is the only reason for launching the ‘kids go free’ scheme.
“This promotion has been launched to offer our customers the opportunity to have a family holiday in a unique destination without breaking their budget,†said Russell Sheldon, senior vice president for Emirates’ network passenger sales development.
Coinciding with Dubai Summer Surprises and running from May 15 to September 20, 2009, the promotion will see one child under the age of 16 years fly free and up to a maximum of two children stay, eat and play in Dubai for free when travelling with two paying adults
