SINGAPORE, 19 April 2022: Emirates will ramp up its global operations with the restart of services to four destinations, including Bali (1 May), London Stansted (1 August), Rio de Janeiro (2 November), and Buenos Aires (2 November).
The airline has also announced it will boost services to Nigeria, Mauritius and Singapore to serve market demand. In line with the easing of travel restrictions worldwide, Emirates continues to rebuild and expand its global network to meet travel demand.
Returning to Bali, London Stansted, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires
Starting from 1 May 2022 Emirates will operate five weekly flights to Bali, using a two-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The airline will also scale up its operations from 1 July 2022 to serve the island destination with a daily service. With its spectacular mountains, picturesque beaches and cultural appeal, Bali is considered to be a world-leading tourist destination.
Starting from 1 August 2022, Emirates will resume flight operations to London Stansted with five weekly flights, using Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the ‘Game Changer’ first-class product. From 1 September, the airline will introduce a daily flight, and by October 2022, the airline will serve the UK with 110 weekly flights, including six times daily to London Heathrow; double daily A380 service to Gatwick; three times daily to Manchester, including a double daily A380 service (starting 1 October 2022); double daily service to Birmingham; five weekly flights to Newcastle (with the fifth weekly flight starting from 1 July 2022); and a daily service to Glasgow.
Emirates will operate four weekly flights to Buenos Aires via Rio de Janeiro on its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from 2 November 2022 – offering customers from Argentina and Brazil direct connectivity to popular business and leisure destinations across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. From 1 February 2023, Emirates will scale up its operations to a daily service, offering customers greater convenience, choice and flexibility while planning their travel.
Boosting operations to Nigeria, Mauritius and Singapore
The airline will also ramp up its services to Lagos, Nigeria, with 11 weekly flights starting from 1 July 2022 and double daily service starting from 1 September 2022 – taking the airline’s services to pre-pandemic levels. Emirates will also increase its services to Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, to offer five weekly flights starting 1 May 2022 and then a daily service from 1 September 2022.
In line with rising demand, the airline will be scaling up flights to Mauritius from daily to nine weekly flights between 9 April 2022 and the end of June 2022 and then moving up to double daily flights from July 2022. Emirates’ second daily flight will provide an important boost to tourism to the Indian Ocean destination, which has now relaxed entry restrictions for travellers. Under the codeshare agreement with Air Mauritius, customers of both airlines can enjoy greater access and seamless connectivity to and from the island nation.
The airline will also increase passenger services to Singapore from seven weekly flights to 14 weekly flights, starting on 23 June 2022. The added service will meet the increased demand for travel since the country safely reopened to international tourists and eased travel restrictions.
Fly better to more than 130 destinations with Emirates
With the resumption of services to four more destinations, Emirates’ network will span more than 130 destinations across six continents. The airline continues to place top priority on safe travel with the implementation of a comprehensive set of measures on the ground throughout all touchpoints and onboard to provide its passengers with the highest safety and hygiene standards at every step of the journey. Customers travelling from Dubai can also take advantage of state of the art contactless technology to ease their journey through the airport.
Tickets can be purchased on emirates.com, Emirates Sales Office, via travel agents or through online travel agents.
I was not happy with my latest flights to Bangkok from Nice .The 777/300 planes seemed to be older models, the business class section really disappointed with the configuration meaning no more single seats. Next time I’m flying long haul I shall certainly choose an airline with a better business class configuration. That said, crew are very good and friendly, booking and check in swift. Food wise, France to Dubai was not good, no one ate the main dish, but from Dubai it was fine.
