Emirates launches fare discounts for New Year

Emirates Airline has announced it is offering discounted fare across its network of 128 destinations for a limited period.

The special fares apply to flights booked until January 10 - for travel from January 18 to June 10, the Dubai-based airline said in a statement.

Economy Class fares from this region start at AED1,530 to Europe, AED1,850 to the Far East and AED1,400 to Africa.

Emirates Holidays, the airline’s tour operating arm, also said it is offering savings on all land arrangements including tours and excursions, hotels, transfers and car hire for bookings made during the same promotional and travel period.

Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president – Passenger Sales Worldwide, said: “We are injecting even more value into Economy Class fares, while giving a warm welcome to 2013. We urge customers to move quickly to secure seats at the best price.”

Emirates’ world has grown rapidly in 2012, with the launch of 15 new destinations, bringing new countries, cultures and experiences for customers to explore.

Emirates, now flying under the banner of “Hello Tomorrow”, operates a fleet of 193 aircraft, including the world’s largest fleet of double-decker A380s.

Customers taking advantage of the special 2013 fares now have even more chance of flying on the airline’s flagship A380 with the introduction of a double daily A380 service to both New York and Paris starting from January 1.

In all, Emirates’ 29-strong A380 fleet reaches 21 destinations.

In 2013, Emirates’ ambitious expansion plans will be supported by the opening of the world’s first purpose-built A380 concourse in Dubai.
