Emirates Doubles its Flights to Venice
December 16, 2011Emirates’ flights to Venice will go double daily from 25th March next year. The airline, which started flying to Venice in July 2007, is still the only carrier to offer a non-stop passenger service to and from Dubai.
The second daily flight, EK 137, will leave Dubai at 1545hrs and arrive in Venice at 2000hrs. The return flight, EK 138, will leave Venice Marco Polo Airport at 2150hrs, landing in Dubai at 0535hrs the next day. A 267-seat Airbus 340-300 will operate the route in a three class configuration; First, Business and Economy.
“Since launching our third gateway into Italy four years ago, Venice has gone from strength, both on the passenger and cargo side, said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Europe & Russian Federation.
“There is clearly a need for another daily service and we will help to satisfy that demand,” added Mr Obaidalla.
Venice is one of the world’s best known tourist destinations and the area surrounding the city in Italy’s north east is an important commercial region, bustling with small and medium sized companies.
