Dubai: Emirates, the Arab world's biggest airline, said it will start flying to Los Angeles from September.
The West Coast city will be the airline's third destination in the US.
Operating daily, the service will be the first non-stop operation connecting Dubai to Los Angeles.
Emirates will fly its Boeing 777-200LR on the route, offering 266 seats in a three class configuration and will provide up to 10 tonnes of cargo capacity from the US city.
“Los Angeles represents Emirates' commitment to the American market. We have evaluated the US for expansion opportunities and have carefully examined our existing services in Houston and New York- both of which have been very successful.
"We look forward to recreating this success by connecting Los Angeles to Dubai and beyond,'' said Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group.
