Emirates to add 28 flights from Dec. 1

Emirates has announced 28 additional flights for the GCC from December 1.

Doha is to become the airline’s best served destination with seven daily flights landing in the Qatari capital from the current six.
 
Doha will soon take the top spot for most served city, overtaking Bangkok’s six daily services.
 
Muscat will go from two to three flights a day, Bahrain from three to four daily services and Kuwait will increase from five to six flights daily.

This overtakes Bangkok and is ahead of Singapore and London Heathrow.”
