DUBAI, UAE, 26 April 2022: In response to growing passenger
demand for air travel, Emirates will double its flights between Algiers and
Dubai from two to four weekly, starting 1 May 2022.
The service currently between Algiers and Dubai will no
longer be linked with Tunis, offering more flexibility and convenience to
travel to Dubai and onwards to Emirates’ extensive network of more than 130
destinations. Emirates is also the only airline serving Algeria with private,
enclosed First Class cabins, offering premium customers an enriched experience
across every touchpoint of the journey.
Emirates will use its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft between
Algiers and Dubai, and the new flights will operate on Saturdays and Sundays,
in addition to the current Tuesday and Thursday services. Flight EK758 departs
Algiers at 1545, arriving in Dubai at 0105 the next day. EK757 departs Dubai at
0845, arriving in Algiers at 1255.
Emirates manager Algeria Omar Alhemeiri commented on the
boost of services: “We have seen a marked increase in passenger demand to
and from Algiers, especially to Dubai and onwards to other destinations that
are gradually opening or easing their restrictions across our network. We hope
that by increasing our frequency into Algeria, we are able to support traffic
flows in and out of the country as it continues its post-pandemic economic
recovery, and it is also a testament to our commitment to Algeria. We have been
operating flights for almost 10 years, connecting Algerians to the world and
offering a world-class experience onboard whilst prioritising the health and
safety of our customers. We look forward to boosting our services further in
the future to provide better travel options for our customers as they take to
the skies again.”
Since it safely resumed tourism activity in July 2020, Dubai
remains one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations, open for
international business and leisure visitors. From sun-soaked beaches and
heritage…
