It is time for Emirates to unravel the Irish charm! Dubai’s flag carrier is all set to launch new flights on Dubai-Dublin route from the 9th of January 2012. This is going to be the airline’s first foray into the Republic of Ireland, discounting the Emirates SkyCargo which is already operating in Ireland, mainly carrying goods through Manchester.
Vast Irish population that seems to be scattered all over the globe will be the target customers for the airline. Irish population in countries like Australia and the UAE will surely be glad of the new announcement. Ireland is additionally a hugely popular tourist destination with millions visiting the place every year from all over the world.
Travellers are advised to book their cheap flight tickets with the airline as soon as possible as Emirates is not exactly known for providing cheap tickets on its flights! The schedule of the service that will be operational from Jan 9th is as follows - the flight will leave the Dubai airport at 0700hrs and land in Dublin at 1130hrs. For the return flight, the aircraft will leave the Irish capital at 1255hrs and will arrive in Dubai at 0025hrs the following day. Emirates will be deploying an Airbus A330-200 on the route, offering first, business and economy travel classes to passengers.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group was understandably pleased with development. He hoped that the large number of Irish nationals living overseas will ensure that the initiative is successful.

Emirates Connects Dubai with Geneva
Emirates has commenced daily direct flights between the international hubs of Dubai and Geneva.
Passengers on Wednesday’s inaugural flight out of Dubai to the Swiss city came from varied origins including Australia, India, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kuwait, Iran and Mauritius.
In a ceremony to commemorate the first flight, a traditional Swiss dance couple performed inside Emirates' exclusive Terminal 3, before flight EK089 left for Geneva.
"This launch, in particular, has a strong international feel about it - linking Dubai, as a global aviation hub and centre for business and tourism with Geneva, a home to so many international organisations and an important financial and banking centre," said Tim Clark, president, Emirates Airline.
The Dubai-Geneva flight operations will be managed by a combination of Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 777-300ERs. The aircraft will be arranged in a three-class configuration and will serve all kinds of passengers – be it the ones who love luxury on travel or the ones who prefer cheap flight tickets.
There will be First Class Private Suites, lie-flat seats in Business Class, and a spacious cabin in Economy Class. Travellers hoping to grab those elusive cheap flight tickets would do well to make their ticket bookings as soon as possible.
Geneva is Emirates' second gateway into Switzerland. The premier airline started its Zurich operations in 1992 and currently offers two daily flights.
The carrier’s EK 089 will leave Dubai airport each day at 0855hrs and arrive in Geneva at 1345hrs. From Geneva, EK 090 will take off at 1515hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2330hrs.
