Emirates Launches Flights to Bologna, Italy

Emirates has launched flights to Bologna, Italy.

Emirates’ flight EK093 will depart Dubai International Airport at 09:00 and will arrive at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport at 12:35 the same day. The return flight will depart Bologna at 14:30 and arrive in Dubai at 23:20 the same day.

As the capital of the Emilia Romagna region, Bologna has one of the world’s largest and most well-preserved medieval historical centres and is rich in art, culture and commerce.

Located in northern Italy, Bologna is an excellent stepping off point for access to Florence, Pisa and the stunning vistas of Tuscany.

“Our new daily flight to Bologna combines not only our world-class service but also convenient access to this important Italian gateway from across our global network. As the only wide-bodied aircraft to operate from Bologna we bring to the region an unrivalled customer experience across all three cabin classes,” said Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Commercial Operations Worldwide. “The gateway to Tuscany, Bologna offers inbound travellers with easy access to this vibrant tourism and commercial hub. We are confident that our new daily flight will bring economic benefit, trade and investment to the region with demand for direct links to and from the Middle East, Asia and Australasia more prevalent than ever.

Emirates is operating the route with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with eight private suites in First Class, 42 of its latest lie-flat seats in Business Class, and 310 seats in Economy Class.

Throughout all cabin classes, passengers can enjoy more than 2,000 channels of entertainment on demand on ice, the airline's inflight entertainment system.

Passengers on all Emirates flights also have the added bonus of a generous baggage allowance with 30 kilogrammes for those travelling in Economy Class, 40 kilogrammes for Business Class and 50 killogrammes in First Class.

The Mayor of Bologna, Virginio Merola, said, “Emirates’ investment in our city honors us and makes us proud of the work that we have done together over the years to position our airport and our city as an international gateway. Thanks to the countless routes operated by Emirates we now have direct access to many destinations in the East. A benefit not only for the citizens of Bologna who will travel for business or holidays, but also for the many people from all over the world, who can now get direct links to our territory.”

Customers looking to travel beyond Bologna will also benefit from the airline’s commercial agreement with Trenitalia linking them directly with multiple points across Italy.
