Emirates to launch new service to Miami

Dubai's flagship airline Emirates announced on Thursday that it will launch a new service to Miami.

The four-times-a-week service between Florida's second largest city and Dubai will begin on July 22, expanding the carrier's US network to 12 destinations.

With the addition of Miami, Emirates will now serve the US with over 70 weekly flights, offering over 26,000 seats across 12 gateways including Boston, Chicago, New York (JFK and Newark), Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC and Orlando.

Famous for its proprietary take on nightlife, art, music, architecture and cuisine, Miami is one of America's most exciting destinations. As travel demand and consumer confidence continues to grow with all the multi-faceted health measures in place, the new route will cater to Emirates' leisure and business travellers, boosting tourism and trade opportunities both inbound and outbound.

Flights to/from Miami will operate on Emirates' three-class Boeing 777-300ER, offering eight private suites in First Class, 42 lie flat seats in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy Class. Emirates flight EK213 will depart Dubai (DXB) at 03:10hrs, arriving in Miami (MIA) at 11:00hrs while the return flight EK214 will depart Miami at 21:10 hrs, arriving in Dubai at 19:35 hrs the next day.
