Monday, 8 February 2010
DUBAI, UAE, Feb 7: One of the world's most visited countries, Italy, has been brought closer to international travellers after Emirates' flights to Rome went double daily, said a press release.
As of today, the airline's 12 times a week service to the Italian capital becomes twice a day and supplements double daily flights to Milan and a daily flight into Venice.
Passengers travelling between Dubai and Rome will now have the choice of a morning and afternoon flight seven days a week, bringing greater flexibility and convenience.
Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' senior vice president, Commercial Operations, Europe and the Russian Federation, said, "We have been strengthening our services to Rome since October of last year, gradually building up to the double daily which kicks off recently. We know Rome is a powerful tourism magnet with historical gems such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. But it is also an important business centre, so we're confident the extra flight will be a success."
