Dubai: British Airways has announced that it is to add a third daily flight to Dubai from October.
The airline also announced it would be rolling out its New Club World business class cabin on the route at the same time.
From October 26, a trio of Boeing aircraft, a 747, 767 and 777, will run on the airline's Dubai – London Heathrow route
Paul Starrs, British Airways' Commercial Manager, Middle East said: “The arrival of new Club World on the Dubai route, for the winter schedule, further enhances our commercial proposition and demonstrates the Dubai market's enduring importance to the airline.''
The New Club World product, which features flat bed seats, a pantry for 24 hour snacking and video on demand, has been installed on BA's 747s and will be rolled out on all 777s in the first half of 2009.
The 767's will not be upgraded to the new product as it is scheduled to be replaced by new aircraft.
