Emirates is responding to strong passenger
demand in Tunis by launching an extra frequency and introducing
the Airbus A340-500 on the Dubai-Tunis route, commencing 25 March
2012.
The new frequency means that Emirates will serve
Tunis daily, utilizing the Airbus 340-500 in a three-class
configuration, offering 12 First Class Private Suites, 42 seats in
Business Class and 204 Economy Class seats.
The additional flight, coupled with an aircraft
upgrade, will increase Emirates’ capacity to Tunis by almost 30%, representing an extra 384 seats each way per week. It
will also provide an additional 15 tonnes of weekly cargo
capacity.
“By providing an extra flight and upgrading the
aircraft, we are responding to strong demand for additional
capacity on the Tunis-Dubai route,” said Thierry Antinori,
Executive Vice President–Passenger Sales Worldwide. “The introduction of the A340-500 will
offer our customers an even better experience when travelling on
this route. Our customers will now enjoy the very latest Emirates
inflight product, including our multi award-winning ice
entertainment system.”
The additional flight EK748 will depart Tunis every Tuesday at
15:05 and arrive in Dubai at 23:55. The return flight EK747
will depart Dubai at 09:35, arriving in Tunis at 12:50.
Currently, Emirates six-weekly flights to Tunis are served by
an Airbus A330- 200 aircraft in a three-class configuration.
