Emirates has introduced a new non-stop service between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Dubai, adding to its existing daily flight which operates with a stop in Athens, Greece, said a report.

The new non-stop service, operated with an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER, offers eight suites in First Class, 42 seats in Business, 306 in Economy Class, and 19 tonnes of belly-hold cargo capacity, said a report in Wam

Flight EK223 departs Dubai at 0300am and arrives in Newark at 0900am. The return flight EK224 departs Newark at 1150am, arriving in Dubai at 0820am the next day. This new timing complements the existing Emirates service, as it provides travellers with a new option of a morning arrival in Newark, and a morning departure.

The morning arrival in Dubai also means east-bound travellers can conveniently explore one of the world’s most dynamic cities on a stopover day tour, before taking an evening connection to another destination on Emirates’ global network.

Emirates’ non-stop service to Newark offers travellers in northern New Jersey enhanced global connectivity, particularly those heading to Africa, the Far East, and the Indian sub-continent. This is a boon for ethnic communities such as the nearly 700,000 Indian Americans residing in the greater New York area, who will have one-stop access to nine Indian cities on Emirates’ global network.

Emirates serves 12 points in the US, helping to link the world’s largest economy with emerging markets that will further drive American economic growth, trade, and job creation, the report said. - TradeArabia News Service
