Emirates launches new flights to Middle East

Passengers with Emirates can now catch additional flights to Jordan and Qatar on the carrier's Airbus A330.

The airline has stated that from December 1st passengers can get three more services a week to Amman, Jordan and one more flight a week to Doha in Qatar.

It is the fourth time this year that the company has extended its Middle Eastern routes, now taking it to a total of 201 flights each week.

Ahmed Khoory, senior vice president of commercial operations of the Gulf, Middle East and Iran for Emirates, said that the Middle East remains one of the most important markets for the company.

"The over 200 flights that we operate each week across the Middle East is a direct reflection of the region's intense expansion and development with Emirates well placed to capitalise on this growth," he added.

Emirates passengers will also gain access to the airline's A380 super jumbo a month earlier than planned, as it announced that from December 29th the aircraft will serve Paris.
