EMIRATES will begin direct flights to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport on February 10 next year.
The six-time-weekly service will be operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, with eight seats in First Class, 42 in Business Class and 304 in Economy Class.
Barry Brown, divisional senior vice president commercial operations East, Emirates, said: “Emirates SkyCargo has operated a dedicated freighter service to Taipei since 2003. Given its status as a global trading hub and the demand, it is a natural progression for Emirates to launch passenger services to Taipei.”
“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.”
The airline launched flights to Tokyo (Haneda) in June this year, and currently already flies to Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
