Emirates recently announced the launch of non-stop passenger services to Taipei, its 16th destination in the Far East. The service will commence from 10 February 2014, initially with six non-stop flights per week to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport. The route will be operated by a three class Boeing 777-300ER.
“Emirates SkyCargo has operated a dedicated freighter service to Taipei since 2003. Given its status as a global trading hub and the demand, it is a natural progression for Emirates to launch passenger services to Taipei. Emirates’ home, Dubai is another world-class trading centre and this launch is a strong example of not only linking two great commercial destinations, but also promoting international travel and trade. Through Dubai, Emirates offers its international passengers a one-stop connection from Taipei to 70 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. We are confident that this new route will open up new trade opportunities across the Emirates network as well as support business and tourism travel to Taipei,” said Barry Brown, Divisional Senior Vice President Commercial Operations East, Emirates.
Emirates has announced plans to launch services to Stockholm starting 4 September, to Clark International Airport in the Philippines and the transatlantic Milan-New York route on 1 October; Conakry on 27 October, Sialkot on 5 November and Kiev on 16 January 2014.
