Emirates increases flights to Spain
January 27, 2012
Emirates will add Barcelona as its second passenger gateway into Spain and will double the number of flights to Madrid starting in July.
The airline says it’s boosting services in Spain as a result of mounting demand for its Madrid service, launched in August 2010.
The new Barcelona flight, EK 185, will leave Dubai daily at 0655hrs and arrive in Barcelona at 1200hrs. The return service, EK 186, leaves Barcelona at 1640hrs and lands in Dubai at 0100hrs the following day.
Emirates’ 30th European destination will be served with a 360-seat Boeing 777-300ER, in a three-class arrangement. This includes eight First Class Private Suites and the award winning ice entertainment system throughout all cabin classes.
On July 1, 2012, Emirates says it will launch a second daily service to Madrid. EK 143 will also be operated with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER, departing Dubai daily.
