With less than two months to go until Taipei joins Emirates’ global passenger network, the airline celebrated the countdown to launch by showcasing its hospitality and on-board products at a VIP reception in Taiwan’s capital city.
Emirates will begin a daily, non-stop service between Taipei and Dubai from February 10, establishing the first non-stop connection between Taipei and the Middle East.
Emirates will fly a Boeing 777-300ER on the Taipei route, equipped with eight luxurious private suites in first class, 42 lie-flat seats in business class and space for 304 passengers in economy class.
Emirates now operates services to 138 destinations in 78 countries from Dubai. Earlier this year, Emirates launched services to Warsaw, Algiers, Haneda (Japan), Clark (Philippines), the transatlantic Milan-New York route, Conakry (Guinea), Sialkot (Pakistan) and Kabul (Afghanistan).
Emirates will begin 2014 with the launch of services to Kiev, followed by Taipei and Boston on March 10.
