Emirates increases flights to Tokyo

“Japan is a vital market for Emirates and being able to increase the flights to a daily operation is a great testament to the partnership which has existed since we began operations to Japan, through Osaka, nine years ago,” said Richard Jewsbury, Emirates’ senior vice president, commercial operations, Far East & Australasia. “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. I am sure that our passengers will appreciate being able to fly daily from both Narita and Osaka.”
 
Jewsbury continued, “In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Emirates continued operating flights to and from Narita as normal without interruption and maintained a service for those passengers who needed to travel during that difficult time. Emirates has been committed to helping Japan through this period of recovery.  We appreciate that the Japanese authorities have recognised this commitment and allowed us to operate this daily service”

Emirates’ longstanding partnership with Japan Airlines continues and will include a code share on the additional two Dubai-Tokyo-Dubai services, in addition to the previous services to Narita and Osaka. The flights will be identified with the Emirates ‘EK’ code as well as with Japan Airlines ‘JL’ code.
