Oct. 02--Emirates airline continues its global expansion with the recent launch of flights to Clark in the Philippines, the inauguration of a route between Milan and New York, and a brand new A380 service to Brisbane.
First to take off from Dubai International at 04:40hrs on Tuesday morning was EK 338, a Boeing 777-200LR, bound for Clark International in the Philippines. This was followed by EK 205, pushing back at 09:05hrs for Milan, where the Boeing 777-300ER stops before embarking on a brand new transatlantic connection to New York. Next in line was EK 434, departing Dubai at 10:25hrs for the airline's latest A380 destination, Brisbane.
Tim Clark, president Emirates airline, said: "Today [Tuesday] is an extremely significant day for our network -- we are connecting two great cities across the Atlantic, opening an important new gateway into the Philippines, which helps links Filipino communities across the world, and our magnificent flagship aircraft will quietly descend into yet another destination."
"These multiple activities embody the scale of our growth, the increasing reach of our network and the role we play in connecting people, minds and cultures as Emirates navigates a path to becoming a top global lifestyle brand," added Clark.
