Emirates boosts Birmingham service
Emirates will increase business-class capacity out of Birmingham airport by 39% when it introduces a second Boeing 777-300 ER to its twice-daily Dubai service on June 1.
The new aircraft – which replaces the smaller Airbus A330-200 – will have 27 more seats in the premium cabin and 59 more in economy class.
It will fly the evening service at 21.20. The earlier 14.15 service already operates the same aircraft.
Laurie Berryman, Emirates manager for UK regions, said: “Despite the challenging economic conditions, travellers in the Midlands remain keenly aware of the benefits of Emirates’ worldwide network.
“Over the last few months demand has continued to grow on the Birmingham route, necessitating an increase in capacity to meet the surge in passenger numbers."
