In a bid to strengthen its position in the Thailand market, Emirates has announced its intent to add additional services between Dubai and Phuket.
The new addition will mean the destination will be served twice daily from 1 December 2015. Responding to high customer demand, in particular during peak winter travel season, new flights will double current capacity.
Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president and chief commercial officer, said: “In response to strong demand, introduction of a double daily service to Phuket will increase flexibility for visitors. With the ongoing expansion of Phuket International Airport set to double capacity, a twice-daily service provides Emirates with the perfect opportunity to further support the local travel and tourism industry.”
The airline will operate new flights with a Boeing 777-300ER, offering eight seats in first class, 42 seats in business class and 310 in economy class. Emirates EK396 will operate four times per week and will depart Dubai at 2255hrs and arrive at Phuket at 0800hrs the following day. The return flight, EK397 will depart Phuket at 0930hrs and arrives in Dubai the same day at 1320hrs.
EK394 will operate three times per week and will depart Dubai at 2005hrs and arrive at Phuket at 0510hrs the following day. The return flight, EK395 will depart Phuket at 0710hrs and arrives in Dubai the same day at 1100hrs.
