Emirates increases flights to Kuala Lumpur

Emirates this week increased the frequency of its flights to Kuala Lumpur from Dubai.

Travellers heading to Malaysia's capital now have the option to connect to an additional daily flight to the city from the airline's hub in the United Arab Emirates.

The recent launch brings the number of weekly flights operated by Emirates between Dubai and Kuala Lumpur to 21.

Richard Jewsbury, the carrier's senior vice-president of commercial operations in the Far East and Australasia, said: "Emirates has always been committed to Malaysia. This increase in flight frequency follows strong and increasing demand for flights not just from business travellers, but leisure travellers as well.

"We are now offering further access to numerous Emirates destinations around the world."

Emirates first entered the Malaysian market in October 1996, launching flights to Kuala Lumpur via Dhaka.

A weekly non-stop service to the city was introduced ten years later.

The airline also expanded its operations in Europe recently with the introduction of twice-daily flights to Rome.
