Emirates touched down at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport celebrating launch of the airline’s second gateway in Istanbul.
With the launch of daily flights to Sabiha Gökçen, Emirates has increased its overall capacity to Istanbul by 35%, offering a total of 18 flights per week.
“We have been operating flights to Istanbul for more than 28 years and in that time have seen demand for our services grow exponentially. We are confident that both passenger and cargo demand is strong enough to warrant operating to both of airports,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates divisional senior vice president, strategic planning, revenue optimisation and aeropolitical affairs.
The new daily flight is operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft in a three-class configuration offering 12 seats in first class, 42 seats in business class, and 183 seats in economy.
Emirates flight EK119 will depart Dubai at 17:15 and arrive in at Sabiha Gökçen International Airport Istanbul at 20:15 daily. The return flight EK120 will leave Sabiha Gökçen International Airport Istanbul at 22:05, arriving in Dubai at 04:20 the next day.
In addition to the daily flight to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport Emirates also operates 11 weekly flights to Istanbul Atatürk Airport.
