Emirates recently introduced a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on its Ho Chi Minh–Dubai route.

The Dubai-based airline started its daily, non-stop flights to Vietnam from Dubai on June 4 with an Airbus A330-200.

To meet growing demand on the route, the airline has upgraded the aircraft to a Boeing 777-300ER, with 42 flat-bed seats in business class and 386 economy class seats, increasing passenger capacity by almost 50 per cent.

“Vietnam is one of the top emerging economies in Asia, and Ho Chi Minh City has been a significant commercial centre and popular tourism destination.

“We have been made very welcome since our launch here, and we look forward to further success in the market. The upgrade of aircraft on our flights to Ho Chi Minh City confirms our strong commitment to Vietnam,” said Salem Obaidalla, Emi-rates’ senior vice president, commercial operations, Far East.

Emirates, which operates a daily flight schedule from Malta to Dubai via Cyprus, has a fleet of 187 aircraft and is the world’s largest Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 operator.

The airline now serves 127 destinations in 74 countries on six continents.
