Emirates will add four extra flights a week from 29th October. This will bring the airline up from 17 flights a week to 21 flights a week.
The extra flight is timetabled as follows:

This in real terms will convert into Emirates converting from a mixed two/three times a day service to a full three times a day service.
Emirates will deploy a three class Boeing 777-300ER on the route, consisting of:
- 8 First Class Suites
