Emirates increases services to Dhaka and Kolkata

Effective March 29, Emirates weekly flights to Dhaka and Kolkata increased to 21 and 13 respectively. The airline also added capacity on its Kolkata route, upgrading the aircraft to a Boeing 777-200, and is introducing its renowned First Class cabin to passengers travelling to the Indian hub. 

The additional flights offer convenient connections with Emirates’ West Asia and Indian Ocean (WA&IO) network from 37 European, 17 Middle Eastern and 10 American destinations.  Emirates has been flying to WA&IO since 1985. Karachi, Delhi and Mumbai were among the airline’s first destinations when it began operations. Today, Emirates serves 19 cities in WA&IO with 321 flights per week, offering the best connectivity in the region.
