Emirates in timely move to Geneva

Emirates will launch non-stop, daily flights between Dubai and Geneva from June 1 next year.

This Swiss city - one of the most important banking and financial cities in the world - and home to more than 300 international governmental and non-governmental organisations - will become Emirates' 26th destination in Europe.

It is also home to many of the world's leading watchmakers.

Emirates said the new service would meet demand for this route from across its network, from both the business sector, particularly financial, and leisure travellers looking for both summer relaxation and winter sports.

EK 089 will leave Dubai each day at 0855hrs and arrive in Geneva at 1410hrs. From Geneva, EK 090 departs at 1540hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2359hrs.

The service will be operated with a combination of Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, in a three-class configuration. 
 


Emirates currently offers double-daily flights between Dubai and Zurich.

In separate announcements, Emirates will recommence its third-daily Sydney to Dubai service from October 2, 2011, operated by a new, larger Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

And, from Perth, Emirates will operate a Boeing 777-200LR (long range) aircraft on its early morning service (EK425) to Dubai, creating a consistent aircraft product with Emirates' evening service (EK421), which has already received the aircraft.
