Emirates recently launched its fourth Italian gateway – Bologna – following the arrival of the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER.

“As the only wide-bodied aircraft to operate from Bologna, we bring to the region unrivalled customer experience across all three cabin classes,” said Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president and chief commercial officer commercial operations worldwide.

He further added: “The gateway to Tuscany, Bologna offers inbound travellers with easy access to this tourism and commercial hub. We are confident that our new daily flight will bring economic, trade and investment benefits to the region.”

The Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER offers eight private suites in first class, 42 seats in business class and 310 passengers in economy class.

The flight EK093 will depart Dubai International Airport at 0900hrs and will arrive at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport at 1235hrs the same day. The return flight will depart Bologna at 1430hrs and arrive in Dubai at 2320 the same day.
