Taipei set to welcome first Emirates Airline passengers
Non-stop Dubai-Taipei service from February 10
With only seven weeks to go until Taipei joins Emirates Airline's global passenger network, the airline has celebrated the countdown to launch by showcasing its famed hospitality and on board products at a VIP reception in Taiwan’s capital city.
Emirates Airline said it will begin a daily, non-stop service between Taipei and Dubai from February 10, 2014, establishing the first non-stop connection between Taipei and the Middle East. Emirates has been expanding its global route network to provide customers with even more travel options.
"The partnership between Emirates and Taipei goes back to 2003 when our cargo arm, Emirates Skycargo, launched a dedicated freighter service between the two cities. Given Taipei’s status as an international trading hub and the demand that we have been getting, it is a natural progression for the airline to launch passenger services here," said Edwin Lau, Emirates’ Vice President, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Through Dubai, Emirates offers its passengers from Taipei a one-stop connection to 70 countries in the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Europe. 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," said Lau.
Emirates will fly a Boeing 777-300ER on the Taipei route, 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. Passengers can also look forward to gourmet cuisine in all classes, served by Emirates’ multinational cabin crew.
