Emirates has now carried its one millionth passenger from Newcastle Airport to Dubai since the route’s launch seven years ago.
The milestone saw passengers Sheila and Peter Laverick upgraded to business class on their flights to New Zealand, and were also presented with cake and champagne at check-in.
Emirates first launched its Newcastle flights in September 2007 and upgraded the route to a Boeing 777-300ER last year.
“The fact we have reached one million passengers out of Newcastle is an indication of our commitment to Newcastle and the North East and the amazing popularity of our service,” said Emirates’ VP UK Laurie Berryman. “We are the only long-haul, scheduled airline to fly daily from Newcastle to Dubai and beyond, allowing our North Eastern passengers to experience long-haul travel from Newcastle, rather than having to change in London or a continental European hub.”
