From November 1st onwards, capacity will be further increased from a daily A 332 to a daily A 343.

Comments:

Excellent move by EK to launch a city that has been asked of them since the past 4 years. They will give QR/LH/AF a tough time with regards to getting market share to Southeast Asia in particular to/from Spain.
