DUBAI, U.A.E.,1st June 2011: Emirates has linked two renowned international hubs by launching flights between Dubai and Geneva. In true international style, passengers were booked onto today's inaugural flight out of Dubai from places such as Australia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, India, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Iran and Mauritius. "This launch, in particular, has a strong international feel about it – linking Dubai, as a global aviation hub and centre for business and tourism with Geneva, a home to so many international organisations and an important financial and banking centre," said Tim Clark, President, Emirates Airline. "On the back of our robust financial results, the airline continues to drive forward – connecting key cities around the world," Mr Clark added. The Dubai-Geneva service will be operated by a combination of Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 777-300ERs. The aircraft will be arranged in a three-class configuration, offering First Class Private Suites, lie-flat seats in Business Class, and a spacious cabin in Economy Class. Passengers in all classes are able to sit back and enjoy the popular ice entertainment system, along with gourmet-chef prepared meals, served by multi-national cabin crew. This is Emirates' second gateway into Switzerland after Zurich, which started in 1992, and is now double daily. EK 089 will leave Dubai each day at 0855hrs and arrive in Geneva at 1345hrs. From Geneva, EK 090 departs at 1515hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2330hrs. |
