Emirates announces Fort Lauderdale (Miami)

Emirates has officially announced that it will be launching new nonstop flights to FLL-Fort Lauderdale airport which is on the outskirts of Miami. The new service will be launched effective 15DEC using a Boeing 777-200LR operated on a daily basis using the below mentioned schedule:

Flight schedule is as follows:

EK 213 Dep DXB 0300 Arr FLL 1025
EK 214 Dep FLL 2020 Arr DXB 1940+1

The flight is partnered with B6-Jetblue which is EK's biggest codeshare partner carrier in North America. A very well thought out move by EK to operate into this airport instead of MIA due to B6's large presence at FLL.
