Emirates, the award-winning international airline, will strengthen its route network in the Asia Pacific to better serve its customers and consolidate its presence in the region.
 
The airliner has successfully started services to the Japanese city of Nagoya.
 
September 1st will become a red-letter-day on Emirates’ Asia-Pacific calendar with increased frequency to Perth, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, and the launch of daily services to Beijing.
 
On the day, the airline’s service to Perth will become a double daily from the current 11 weekly flights, sending a strong signal of commitment to its Australian stakeholders and sealing Emirates’ presence in the country for the long-haul.
 
The second daily will be served with the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, offering a total of 290 seats and 18 tonnes of cargo.
 
The airline will serve Australia with 49 weekly flights to four gateways – Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
 
In December, Emirates will increase its capacity to Perth, upgrading its other daily from an Airbus A340-300 offering 267 seats to a Boeing 777-300ER with 364 seats, a jump of 36 per cent.
 
The sustained and explosive growth of China has increased the country’s appetite for travel as well as trade, and Emirates will satisfy this customer demand with three additional flights between Dubai and Hong Kong.
 
 Flight EK380 will become the second daily to this fascinating city, which will now be served with a total of 17 weekly flights.
 
With a daily service and six dedicated freighter operations to Shanghai; daily service to Beijing, and 10 Boeing freighter services to Hong Kong in addition to passenger services, the airline has clearly highlighted the importance of China on its route network.
 
Kuala Lumpur will be served nine times a week, with the additional flight operating every Friday with an Airbus A330-200 in a two class configuration. From 1st September, the Sunday and Tuesday service on EK352 will be upgraded from A330-200 to a Boeing 777-300ER.
 
By the end of this year, the airliner also intends to upgrade our services and increase capacity to Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur.
 
Emirates launched services to Singapore, its first destination in the Far East, way back in 1990. From 1st September the airline will serve the Asia Pacific region with 129 flights every week.
