Emirates recently announced its intent to add four additional flights per week to Jeddah. The new flights will commence from 14 December 2015.
The increased frequency will now offer Emirates’ customers travelling to and from Jeddah to choose from three flights per day. All three daily flights will be operated by a three-class A380 in response to high customer demand in the market.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a major market for Emirates and its importance is reflected by the fact that we will now operate three flights per day to Jeddah. This is tremendous news for both our business and leisure customers,” said Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, commercial operations West.
The additional flights will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays bringing the total number of weekly flights to Jeddah to 21.
