The airline will add an three-class Boeing 777-300ER with 8 First Class Suites, 42 Business Class seats and 310 Economy Class seats with this extra flight
Of course, if a second flight is being rostered, it’s to improve connectivity out of the Dubai hub – with timings to meet the early bank of departures from Dubai International, heading Eastwards, including China, Africa and Australasia. The flight will also connect with flyDuabi’s regional network too.
EK139/140 continue to operate on a daily basis with an A380. If you’re in Economy class – you might want to consider this – with the plane having a larger seat width than the Boeing 777-300ER.
It’s a great capacity uplift to Prague – with over 262,800 extra seats a year between the two cities.
The trick as usual will be how to fill those seats, and if they can do in the long-term.
