Emirates Increase Flights to Japan

Emirates adding services so UK can enjoy Japanese culture and business

It has been revealed that Emirates are to increase the number of services they offer to Narita. With Japanese destinations proving popular from the Dubai hub, the airline revealed that the number of direct services is to be increased by two.

Emirates launched services to Narita last year in a bid to increase access from the Middle East to Japan. The route also served well as an extra travel choice for British individuals who may have wanted to fly via Dubai. Utilising their Boeing 777-300ER, Emirates offers three classes on the route, including both First and Business Class. Eight cabins will be available for those travelling First Class, whilst other premium guests will be able to make use of 42 business seats.

Richard Jewsbury, Emirates Senior Vice President Commercial Operations for Australasia and the Far East revealed that Japan was proving to be a crucial market for the company. "Demand on the route continues to remain strong since we launched last year, which was reflected in Emirates recently topping Abroad's airline satisfaction ranking," he said, adding "I am sure that our passengers will appreciate being able to fly daily from both Narita and Osaka." And, with the airline also recruiting 200 Japanese cabin crew for the flights, those on board the flights will feel the holiday atmosphere as soon as they take off.
