Emirates announces daily service from Dubai to Malta via Cyprus

Emirates unveiled plans to reroute its daily service between Dubai and Malta via Larnaca, Cyprus, from 1 February. This means that the current fiveweekly flights with routing Dubai/Tunis/Malta/Dubai will be changed to Dubai/Larnaca/Malta/Larnaca/Dubai, the same as the current flight operating every Monday and Wednesday. The Malta route allows travellers to book tickets between Malta and Cyprus.

Travellers from Malta can once again enjoy daily access to Larnaca, as Cyprus is only two hours away. The daily DubaiLarnaca-Malta service will be operated by a state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration, with eight Private Suites in First Class, 42 lie flat seats in Business Class and 310 spacious seats in Economy Class. Customers on Emirates’ flights enjoy the famed hospitality of its multinational cabin crew, including Maltese, as well as gourmet cuisine and Emirates’ award-winning Ice entertainment system. With more than 2,500 channels of on-demand entertainment, from movies, television programmes, games, audio books and music from around the world, Ice has been named the world’s best inflight entertainment system by Skytrax for 12 consecutive years. As with all Emirates flights, passengers also enjoy generous baggage allowances: 50 kilos in First Class, 40 kilos in Business Class and up to 35 kilos in Economy Class. Starting 1 February, EK 109 will depart Dubai at 7.50pm, arriv- ing in Larnaca at 10.20am. It will then depart Larnaca at 11.50am, arriving in Malta at 1.25pm. The return flight, EK 110, will leave Malta at 2.55pm, arriving in Larnaca at 6.15pm. It will then depart Larnaca at 7.30pm and land in Dubai at 1.25am the next day. The timings are ideal for onward connections from Dubai to Australia, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Businesses and traders will also benefit from the aircraft’s belly-hold to carry cargo on the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft by Emirates SkyCargo offering 23 tonnes of capacity per flight. Further information and flight schedules are available on www.emirates.com/mt
