Emirates to bring more Business class flights between Middle East and Dallas-Forth Worth

Emirates Airlines in its response to the spike in business travelers from Dallas-Fort Worth- Middle East route, announced that it would add more flights on the route to offer more business class seats. The new flights would go operational from next year.

As per the plan, Emirate would operate two non-stop daily flights on Dallas/Fort Worth-Dubai route from Feb 2.

The move follows the incentives passed on by DFW which include free landing fees and two years rent for the Terminal. As per the airline spokesperson, the airline flies with 40-50 business class travelers on the route daily. With the induction of more business class seats, the airline would be able to meet a growing demand for comfortable long haul flights.

Emirates would use Boeing 777-200LR configured with 266 seats out of which around 37 would be business class seats. The proposed flights would leave Dubai at 2:45 a.m. and reach DFW at 9:05 a.m. While returning, the flight leaves DFW at 11:50 a.m. and reaches Dubai at 12:20 p.m.
