Dubai: Emirates said on Monday it will add four extra weekly flights between Dubai and Phuket, Thailand from December 1, 2015.

The additional flights add 57 per cent of capacity on the route and will link up with connecting flights from the America’s for the first time, according to an emailed statement.

The announcement of additional Phuket services follows the recent signing of a code-share agreement with Bangkok Airways that added 14 code-share destinations to the Emirates network.
