In the past months, the airline has planned and executed the rapid
growth of its network operations - reintroducing services to 5 cities;
launching flights to 1 new destination (Tel Aviv), adding 251 weekly flights
onto existing routes; and continuing the roll-out of service enhancements in
the air and on the ground.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer said: “Emirates
continues to expand its global network and deploy its capacity to meet travel
demand across the world. Our financial year started relatively quietly as we
held back our ramp up until the planned northern runway rehabilitation program
at Dubai International airport was completed in June. From July 2022 onwards,
it’s been non-stop expansion.”
He added: “Customer demand has been very strong, and our forward
bookings are also robust. Emirates is working hard on several fronts - to bring
back operating capacity as quickly as the ecosystem can manage, while also
upgrading our fleet and product to ensure our customers always enjoy the best
possible Emirates experience. So far, 4 of our A380 aircraft have been
completely refurbished with our new cabin interiors and Premium Economy seats,
and more will enter service as our US$2 billion cabin and service enhancement
program picks up pace.”
In the coming months, established routes to Europe, Australia and Africa
will be served with more Emirates flights, while in East Asia, more cities are
seeing route restarts.
