Emirates launched a new daily service from Newark Liberty International Airport to Dubai International Airport, adding to its existing daily flight that operates with a stop in Athens (ATH). This new non-stop operates with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER. Departing Dubai at 3 a.m. and arriving in Newark at 9 a.m., the route will offer eight first-class suites, 42 business-class seats and 306 seats in economy. The return flight departs Newark at 11:50 a.m., and arrives in Dubai at 8:20 a.m.

“We are thrilled to provide the traveling community with new options to experience Emirates’ excellent product. The availability of the new non-stop flight will not only double our capacity to meet demand for our award-winning service, but also offer enhanced choices and easy connectivity for passengers traveling to Dubai and onwards,” said Hubert Frach, divisional senior vice president, commercial operations, Emirates. “We expect this service to generate consistently high demand, enhance business, culture and leisure connections between major destinations, and support the demands of businesses in New Jersey that export their products worldwide.”
