Emirates recently launched its third daily flight from Dubai to Perth, demonstrating the demand for international flights to and from Western Australia, as well as the airline’s commitment to the state.
This ongoing commitment to tourism and trade in Western Australia sees Emirates’ flights to Perth rise from 19 to 21 per week, offering an extra 1,440 seat capacity between Dubai and Emirates’ global network and Western Australia each week.
"Emirates is dedicated to providing greater travel opportunities for our passengers to and from Western Australia through the introduction of this new, third daily flight and by providing state-of-the-art aircraft across the three daily Perth services," said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Commercial Operation Far East & Australasia.
"In addition, Emirates has also announced it will increase the capacity on one of its other flights to Perth - EK424 and EK425 from 1 June by using a Boeing 777-300ER, providing passengers with the highest quality aircraft across all of our cabin classes and more opportunity to secure a seat on these popular flights, with the number of economy class seats increasing from 216 to 304," Mr Obaidalla added.
Tourism Western Australia CEO Stephanie Buckland said the introduction of Emirates’ third daily Perth service was a tremendous boost for the state’s tourism industry.
"Since it started flying to Perth in August 2002, Emirates has become a major player in West Australia’s international market," Ms Buckland said.
"In that time Emirates’ services between Dubai and Perth have increased from four a week to 21, which represents a strong vote of confidence in WA as a holiday and business destination," she added.
"With the extra flights and Emirates’ vast network Perth has a new level of one-stop connectivity to the world, and in particular WA’s key European and North American markets," she concluded.
Emirates flight EK422 departs Dubai at 2145hrs and arrives in Perth at 1225hrs the following day, the return flight, EK423, departs Perth at 1510hrs and arrives in Dubai at 2210hrs.
