Emirates service to Kozhikode

New Delhi: Dubai-based Emirates Airline on Monday said it would launch non-stop services six times a week to Kozhikode from July 1, 2008. Kozhikode will become the third city in Kerala to be served with non-stop Emirates flights from Dubai. The airline introduced services to Kochi in 2002 and to Thiruvananthapuram in 2006.
On the Dubai-Kozhikode route, Emirates will initially operate Boeing 777-200 and Airbus A330-200 aircraft, offering over 4,000 ‘business’ and ‘economy’ class seats and close to 200 tonnes of cargo capacity a week in both directions.
The direct flight will operate on all days of the week, except Sundays. Emirates now operates 99 weekly flights from Dubai to Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram. Kozhikode will become Emirates’ 10th destination in India.
