Emirates has launched a second daily flight between Dubai and Prague, to meet the increasing demand for travel on the route.

Emirates has been serving the Czech market since 2010 and during this time has carried some 1.7 million passengers on the route. To meet the rising demand for both inbound and outbound travel, the airline has added this new daily flight operated by a Boeing 777-300ER with a capacity of 360 seats, boosting tourism into the Czech Republic by 262,800 seats a year. The new flight will accommodat­e three classes on board, with eight private suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 310 spacious seats in Economy.

Flight EK137 leaves Dubai at 15:30 and arrives in Prague at 19:55. The return flight EK138 leaves Prague at 21:35 and arrives in Dubai at 05:30 the following day, giving travellers the full day in Dubai to kick-start their holiday, short break or business trip and take advantage of the wealth of activity and dining options the cosmopolit­an city has to offer.

The service also provides seamless connectivi­ty to Prague from several popular destinatio­ns in Emirates’ and flydubai’s combined route network, including Bali, Bangkok, Colombo, Hong Kong, Johannesbu­rg, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, the Maldives, Mauritius and Singapore, with a convenient afternoon departure time from Dubai. Vietnam is a top destinatio­n for travellers from the Czech market, with Emirates serving both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

With this new service, customers travelling from Prague to Ho Chi Minh City will be able to take advantage of enhanced connection times in Dubai.
