Emirates increases flights to New York
11 May 2006
Emirates is to introduce a new Dubai - New York service via Hamburg.
The service to John F Kennedy airport will start on 29 October this year.
The airline started flights to Hamburg in March this year and the new route builds on its current twice-daily service to New York.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Emirates chairman and chief executive, said: 'This is a great opportunity for Emirates to carry passengers from Hamburg to New York. We already offer non-stop services to both cities but demand has been so high that we are happy to be able to increase our services to JFK and offer greater capacity to Hamburg.
'It is a testament to our quality of service and worldwide network, that we have increased services to New York from one to three flights a day in the space of a little over two years, as well as the need to increase capacity on our recently launched Hamburg service so quickly.'
Emirates' service has also been recognised with five Business Traveller Middle East Awards, meaning the airline has won 300 international awards.
