Emirates Adds Third Daily Flight to Jeddah

Emirates recently announced that it will operate its third daily flight to Jeddah in the month of January 2013. This addition has been made keeping in mind the Dubai Shopping Festival fervor and the school holiday need.

The airline at present has two daily international flights being operated by A380 on its Dubai-Jeddah sector. The third additional service will be operational on January 16th, 17th, 25th and 26th, and will be operated by EK801 and EK802.

In a recently released press note the airline stated that it has received overwhelming response on this sector from the Saudi region and hence this step was the most logical way to support this ongoing demand.

EK801 will depart from Dubai at 0140hours and will arrive in Jeddah at 0340hours. And EK802 will depart from Jeddah at 0515hours and arrive in Dubai at 0905hours. The flight will be able to fly 489 passengers out of which 14 will be under First Class Private Suites, 76 in Business Class mini-pods and 399 in Economy.
