Emirates to ramp up services across the globe

WAM

Emirates Airline has announced the resumption of services to four destinations, including Bali, London Stansted, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.

The airline has also announced it will boost services to Nigeria, Mauritius and Singapore to serve market demand.

Starting from May 1, Emirates will operate five weekly flights to Bali, scaling up to serve the island daily from July 1. With its spectacular mountains, picturesque beaches and cultural appeal, Bali is considered to be a popular tourist destination.

From August 1, the airline will again serve London Stansted with five weekly flights, increasing to daily flights from September.

Meanwhile, from November 2, Emirates will operate four weekly flights to Buenos Aires via Rio de Janeiro, offering customers from Argentina and Brazil direct connectivity to popular business and leisure destinations across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. 

Emirates is also increasing its services to the Nigerian city of Lagos with 11 weekly flights, starting from July 1, and doubling its daily service in September, returning to pre-pandemic service levels. It will also increase the schedule to Nigeria's capital, Abuja, with five weekly flights from next month.

This route will also see an increase to a daily service in September. 

In line with rising demand, the airline will be upping its schedule to Mauritius from daily to nine weekly flights from April 9 to the end of June, while moving up to double daily flights from July.

Emirates’ second daily flight will provide an important boost to tourism to the Indian Ocean destination which has now relaxed entry restrictions for travellers. 

The airline will also increase passenger services to Singapore from seven weekly flights to 14, starting from June 23.

The added service will meet the increased demand for travel, since the country safely reopened to international tourists and eased travel restrictions.
