Emirates has opened bookings for its upcoming Dubai-Trivandrum flights, it was announced yesterday.
From February 1, 2006, the airline will operate eight flights per week between Dubai and the capital city of Kerala. Bookings for the flights can be made through the Emirates Travel Hub in Deira and Shaikh Zayed Road or through preferred travel agents. Customers can also contact Emirates Reservations and Enquiry or book online through www.emirates.com.
Members of Skywards, the frequent flyer programme of Emirates and SriLankan Airlines, can fly to Trivandrum for up to 50 per cent less Miles between February 1 and March 31, 2006. Bookings for this special Skywards offer were opened yesterday.
Emirates Senior Vice-President Commercial Operations West Asia and Indian Ocean, Nabil Sultan said: “Emirates is very excited to be launching services to Trivandrum. Majority of Kerala's non-resident Indians, estimated to be approximately 1.5 million reside in the Middle East. Government statistics further reveal that 41 per cent of NRIs visit India each year. The new Emirates services will greatly benefit them by providing timely, efficient and reliable air links between 13 Middle East cities and the state of Kerala, via the airline's hub in Dubai.
Airbus A330-200 and Boeing 777-200 are the aircraft to be used on the route. In-flight food and beverage will be in keeping with the current highly rated Emirates on-board product. A personal video system with touch-control and personal satellite telephone is fitted on each passenger seat, regardless of class.
In addition to the airline’s mainstream entertainment system, a video library is also available for First and Business class passengers.
