Now Emirates adds Amsterdam
DUBAI – Emirates is to launch flights to Amsterdam from May 1, 2010.
The daily, non-stop service from Dubai will be operated with a combination of 777-200LR and 777-300ER aircraft, with a three-class configuration and the newest version of ICE, the in-flight entertainment system.
Emirates will be the only airline offering first class accommodation on the route.
This is the fourth new destination to be announced this year by the Dubai-based carrier. Durban and Luanda were both launched in October and Tokyo was recently announced with a start date of March 28, 2010.
During December, Emirates will take delivery of two further A380s, which will be deployed to Seoul from December 14 and Paris two weeks later.
Last month, the carrier announced half year net profits of US$205 million, representing a 165 percent increase compared to US$77 million for the period ending September 30, 2008.
