Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, has unveiled major new expansion plans for the United States with the launch of daily services to Seattle and Dallas.
Dallas-Fort Worth and Seattle-Tacoma International airports will both be served by non-stop flights from 2 February and 1 March 2012 respectively.
“These new services emphasise Emirates’ confidence in, and long-term commitment to, the United States,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group. “With six gateways offering convenient connectivity from points across the country, customers travelling to and from the US will find it easier than ever to access our vast global network.”
Emirates’ Seattle service will help support key exports from Washington State, including software, sound and television equipment, aircraft parts, medical and surgical supplies, video games and foodstuffs; headed for markets including the United Arab Emirates, China, Japan, India and Hong Kong.
Starting 2 February 2012, EK 221 will leave Dubai daily at 0245hrs, arriving at Dallas-Fort Worth at 0905hrs. The return sector, EK 222, leaves Dallas at 1150hrs, arriving at Dubai International Airport at 1220hrs the following day.
