Dubai: Eos Airlines, which now offers flights between New York and London, yesterday said it is expanding its schedule and route network with daily services between London's Stansted Airport and Dubai International Airport from July 6.
Eos will also enhance its present service to the New York/New Jersey metro-politan area with the launch of services between New Jersey's Newark International Airport and Stan-sted Airport from May 5.
Eos will begin issuing tickets for travel between Newark and London starting mid-February and will begin issuing tickets for travel between London and Dubai in March.
With Stansted's easy access to London's financial district, Eos Airlines is set to provide the business traveller with a fresh alternative on the Dubai-London route.
On-time record
Eos has maintained its ranking as the top on-time performer on the London-New York route for 21 consecutive months.
"Our community includes many guests and investors from the Gulf region who feel that Dubai and Eos are a perfect fit. UAE consumers appreciate products and services of the highest quality and we've created a travel experience that authentically reflects their lifestyle, an extension of the way they want to live while flying," said Jack Williams, Eos president and chief operating officer.
Eos, which flies the world's only fleet of 757s configured for just 48 passengers, launched its first service in October 2005 and today carries one out of every nine business class passengers between New York's JFK airport and London on one of its 44 weekly flights.
