Dubai: Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, will serve Amsterdam with a second daily non-stop flight from December 4, 2013. The airline’s Boeing 777-200LR aircraft will add capacity of more than 3,700 seats a week in both directions. The new daily service will complement Emirates’ popular Airbus A380 flight to Amsterdam, which commenced last August, less than two years after the launch of the route with a Boeing 777.
The second service will feature 266 seats in a three-class configuration — eight seats in First Class, 42 in Business Class and 216 in Economy Class.
Flight EK149 will leave Dubai at 1610hrs to reach Amsterdam at 2040hrs. The return flight EK150 will depart Amsterdam at 2210hrs, and will arrive in Dubai at 0740hrs the next day.
The airline has announced plans to launch services to Stockholm on September 4. On October 1, Emirates will commence flights to Clark in the Philippines as well as link the transatlantic route between Milan and New York. In Africa, Emirates will launch a linked service to Conakry in Guinea from 27th October. Expanding into Eastern Europe, Emirates will launch services to Kiev, Ukraine on January 16, 2014.
