Emirates expands Mumbai link

Dubai: Starting today, Emirates will introduce an additional daily flight to Mumbai, offering passengers a second morning departure to India's commercial hub and boosting the weekly service to 28 flights per week.
The Dubai-based airline has been steadily building up its presence in India owing to escalating demand for air travel triggered by the country's burgeoning economy. Earlier this year, Emirates enhanced its present 19-flights-per-week Mumbai service with the launch of two additional frequencies, taking the weekly total to 21 flights.
The airline also commenced a double-daily service to Chennai, and added three additional flights each to Kochi and Hyderabad.
Emirates flight EK506, an Airbus A330 aircraft offering 12 first, 42 business and 183 economy class seats, and 17 tonnes of cargo capacity per week per direction, will depart Dubai at 9:30am daily, touching down at Mumbai at 1:45pm hours.
The return flight, EK507, will take off from Mumbai at 3:15pm and arrive in Dubai at 5pm.
