Emirates Australia


Emirates has announced that it will be expanding its flights to Australia from 2008 with major increases planned for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

BNE - new daily nonstop flights from DXB effective Oct 2008 using the A 345 which will be in addition to the daily B 773ER flight flown via SIN.

MEL - third daily frequency to be introduced out of which 1 of the 3 flights will be flown with the A 380 effective 2009.

SYD - third daily frequency to be introduced out of which 2 of the 3 flights will be flown with the A 380 effective 2009.Analysis :Very smart move by EK, as the demand is there to support their flights to SYD especially. The feeling is that there are purposely doing this in a rapid manner to counter effectively any new expansion planned by EY & QR in Australia over the next 2 years.
