Emirates today launched its Dubai-Cebu-Clark-Dubai circular service in the Philippines.
Emirates flights to Cebu and Clark depart daily from Dubai as EK338 at 02:55hrs, arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport at 15:50hrs. The service then departs from Cebu at 17:20hrs and arrives at Clark International Airport at 18:50hrs. The return flight departs Clark at 20:20hrs, arriving at Dubai International Airport at 01:20hrs the next day.
“We are confident that our new service will have a positive impact on the development of tourism and trade in the Philippines’ regional economies. Furthermore, our extensive global network of over 150 destinations will help enhance connectivity for Cebu and Clark, providing more markets for regional products and additional opportunities for inbound tourism,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning, Revenue Optimisation and Aeropolitical Affairs.
“The service will also provide more choice for travellers from the Philippines, who will be able to conveniently connect to 39 cities in Europe, 16 in the Middle East as well as a number of destinations across our extensive network in Africa and South America via one stop in our hub in Dubai,” added Kazim.
Emirates’ flights to and from the Philippines also cater to the needs of the Filipino market.
As with all Emirates flights, passengers travelling on the Cebu and Clark service will have baggage allowance of 30kg in Economy Class and 40kg in Business Class.
Emirates employs almost 5,000 Filipinos, including over 1,050 cabin crew.
