Emirates commenced its flights to Brussels with a daily service. The new route will be operated with a daily Boeing 777-200LR.
The new route will play a key role in further developing natural business links between Belgium and key markets in the Far East. Emirates also estimate that it will deliver a boost to the country’s tourism sector.
“Belgium’s tourism is thriving and we believe that we can drive demand,” said Thierry Aucoc, Emirates’ senior vice president commercial operations Europe and Russian Federation.
Tourism to Brussels from the UAE has grown significantly with number of visitors more than tripling since 2009. The new direct link from Dubai to Brussels is expected to grow this sector even further, as well as increasing inbound traffic from key markets in the Far East and Australasia.
“The launch of this daily service to Dubai will create 150 new on-site jobs,” explained Arnaud Feist, CEO Brussels Airport Company.
The new daily flight departs Dubai as EK183 at 0750hrs (as per summer schedule) and arrives at Brussels International Airport, at 1315hrs* the same day. The return flight, EK184 will depart at 1445hrs* and arrives at Dubai International Airport at 2325hrs* the same day.
