Emirates gears up for Dublin

UAE-Much as it did in Buenos Aires, Emirates held a pre-route gala dinner in Dublin last night, ahead of daily flights starting from Dubai on January 9.

More than 800 guests attended the event at the city's Convention Centre, whose exterior was emblazoned in Emirates branding.

Thierry Antinori, Emirates' Executive Vice President, Passenger Sales Worldwide, said it can see "unusually high demand" for the first two weeks after launch. The route will be served by a three-class A330-200.

EK0161 will leave Dubai at 0700 and arrive at Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 at 1130, with EK0162 departing Dublin at 1255 and landing in Dubai at 0025 the next day.
