Doha is set to become Emirates Airlines best served destination with seven daily flights going to the Qatari capital from 1st December.
Doha will take the top spot when it goes from six to seven daily flights, overtaking Bangkok s six daily services, Emirates said in a press release earlier today.
The extra flights to Doha are part of a 28 flight boost to the airline s Middle East services whereby flights to Muscat will increase from two to three a day, Bahrain from three to four daily services and Kuwait will increase from five to six flights daily.
With the changes in place as of 1st December, Emirates will offer 276 weekly flights to destinations across the Middle East out of its hub at Dubai International.
“This is a significant enhancement of our services in the region, giving our customers more choice and convenience”, said Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Centre. “With seven flights a day going into Doha, nowhere else on the Emirates network will offer as many daily flights. This overtakes Bangkok and is ahead of Singapore and London Heathrow.” “The extra frequencies will provide even more scope for customers to enjoy our award winning services, such as the “ice” in-flight entertainment system, loaded with up to 1,800 channels of movies, TV programmes, games and music, which can all be explored while savouring gourmet chef prepared cuisine,” Al Mualla added.
Apart from Doha, Muscat, Bahrain and Kuwait, the airline s 276 weekly departures to destinations in the airline s Gulf, Middle East and Iran region (GMEI) also cover Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and Yemen.
