Emirates will be launching its second daily service to Shanghai from Dubai on February 1.

Shanghai is a very popular destination because of its ancient culture, architectural landmarks including the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower, its nightlife and the shopping arcades. The city is a must-visit destination for executives who conduct, or intend to conduct, business with China, a spokesman for Emirates said.

Emirates operates a Boeing 777-300ER daily to Shanghai, offering 364 seats in a three-class configuration - 12 seats in First Class, 42 in Business and 310 in Economy - and 23 tonnes of belly-hold capacity.

Emirates SkyCargo also operates six weekly B747-400F freighter services to Shanghai, offering a capacity of 120 tonnes each.

Besides Shanghai, Emirates serves Beijing, with a double daily service, and Hong Kong, with 17 passenger flights and 13 freighter services a week.
