Higher demand brings more service from world’s largest passenger jets
New service from Emirates, the Dubai-based international airline, boosts its capacity to the US by almost half.
“With the increased capacity, Emirates now operates 49 flights per week from its four US gateways – New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco,” according to a press release.
“Thanks to Emirates’ new services, air travelers in the US can now look forward to more choice, convenience and comfort than ever before when traveling to the Middle East and beyond," said Nigel Page, senior vp.
Passengers in all classes can watch more than 1,200 channels of on-demand entertainment, including 200 movies, 100 TV channels and video games.
Emirates currently serves 108 cities around the globe.
Emirates has 201 wide-bodied aircraft on order, worth over US$59 billion, and is the leading customer of the Airbus A380 with 14 in its fleet and 76 on order, powered by Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, according to press releases.
