Abu Dhabi: Emirates, the Dubai-based airline, announced its seventh daily service to and from Bangkok starting July 1.

The additional service, which will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, will help meet growing passenger demand to the Thai capital. It will make Bangkok one of the most served destinations on the Emirates network, on a par with Kuwait and Doha.

The new service will add 2,520 seats and up to 134 tonnes in cargo capacity per week in each direction between Bangkok and Dubai.
