Dubai-based Emirates has will commence a new six times a week to Taipei from its global hub at Dubai.
The airline will use a 354-seat Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a 3-class configuration (8F / 42J / 304Y).
Taipei is the carrier’s 16th destination in the Far East.
Barry Brown, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President Commercial Operations East.
“Emirates SkyCargo has operated a dedicated freighter service to Taipei since 2003. Given its status as a global trading hub and the demand, it is a natural progression for Emirates to launch passenger services to Taipei,”
The flight schedules though, are a little unusual. The arrivals in to Taipei vary by day of the week, but the return flight is fixed for an early morning arrival in to Dubai, quite obviously to allow passengers connections to other Emirates’ destinations and improve access to Taiwan from other parts of the Emirates network, especially Africa.
