Karachi, 14 March, 2023: Emirates has
boosted operations by 31% (total ASKMs) since the start of its financial year
and has further plans to ramp up seat capacity in its latest published northern
summer schedule starting 26 March 2023.
In the past months, the airline has planned and executed the rapid
growth of its network operations - reintroducing services to 5 cities; adding
251 weekly flights onto existing routes; and continuing the roll-out of service
enhancements in the air and on the ground.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer said: “Emirates continues to expand its global network and deploy
its capacity to meet travel demand across the world. Our financial year started
relatively quietly as we held back our ramp up until the planned northern
runway rehabilitation program at Dubai International airport was completed in
June. From July 2022 onwards, it’s been non-stop expansion.”
He added: “Customer demand has been very
strong, and our forward bookings are also robust. Emirates is working hard on
several fronts - to bring back operating capacity as quickly as the ecosystem
can manage, while also upgrading our fleet and product to ensure our customers
always enjoy the best possible Emirates experience. So far, 4 of our A380
aircraft have been completely refurbished with our new cabin interiors and
Premium Economy seats, and more will enter service as our US$2 billion cabin
and service enhancement program picks up pace.”
In the coming months, established routes to Europe, Australia and
Africa will be served with more Emirates flights, while in East Asia, more
cities are seeing route restarts.
