Emirates to commence Taipei flights from Feb ’14
Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, recently announced the launch of non-stop passenger services to Taipei, its 16th destination in the Far East. The service will commence from February 10, 2014, initially with six non-stop flights per week to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport.
The route will be operated by a three class Boeing 777-300ER equipped with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class, and generous space for 304 passengers in Economy Class.
Taipei, home to nearly seven million people, is an economic and cultural centre with renowned sights, attractions and a myriad of shopping options. The destination is famous for producing and exporting electronics, textiles, plastics, rubber, chemicals and optical and photographic instruments.
“Emirates SkyCargo has operated a dedicated freighter service to Taipei since 2003. Given its status as a global trading hub and the demand, it is a natural progression for Emirates to launch passenger services to Taipei,” said Barry Brown, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president of commercial operations in the East.
“Emirates’ home, Dubai is another world-class trading centre and this launch is a strong example of not only linking two great commercial destinations, but also promoting international travel and trade. Through Dubai, Emirates offers its international passengers a one-stop connection from Taipei to 70 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Europe,” said Brown.
“We are confident that this new route will open up new trade opportunities across the Emirates network as well as support business and tourism travel to Taipei,” he added. Emirates now operates services to 134 destinations in 76 countries from Dubai.
