Emirates announces a third daily flight from Dublin Airport to Dubai
Emirates flight EK165 will depart Dubai at 2.10am and arrive in Dublin at 6:25am local time. EK166 will depart Dublin at 8:25am and arrive in Dubai at 8pm local. The new flight will mean it has 21 weekly flights between Ireland and the Middle Eastern hub, adding to its existing afternoon and evening departures. The flight will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with three cabin classes on board - First Class, Business and Economy Class. It does not have the Premium Economy option or upgraded Business Class cabin that Emirates has been offering on some later flights to and from Dublin since introducing its newly retrofitted Boeing 777 to the service last month. However, the airline said it will deploy a second refurbished Boeing 777 to Dublin starting from October 16. Emirates carries some 450,000 passengers a year from Ireland to Dubai, and onward connections to 140 destinations including Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. The third flight will also boost its cargo capacity to and from Dublin Airport. Emirates is the world's largest international airline and is currently undergoing a $5 billion (€4.3bn) cabin retrofit programme, which aims to refurbish 219 aircraft by 2026. It includes revamps to cabin classes and interiors across a swathe of Boeing 777s, A380s and A350s. The airline has operated daily services between Dublin and Dubai since 2012, with its double-daily service operating since 2014. 'Dublin's third daily flight will meet market demand and offer customers greater flexibility with a choice of morning, afternoon, and evening flight departures,' the airline said. Return fares to Dubai start from around €669 in Economy, €1,359 in Premium Economy and €3,715 in Business.
