Emirates flies in to Kabul, Afghanistan
Emirates has announced it is to commence a daily passenger service to Khwaja
Rawash Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan from December 4th 2013.
The daily flight to Afghanistan’s capital city will be the first destination
in the country which Emirates has served.
The route will be operated by an Airbus A340-500 configured in a three cabin
configuration, offering 12 First Class, 42 Business Class and 204 Economy Class
seats.
“Emirates has identified a demand for a premium service airline offering
between Dubai and Kabul.
“With this new route Emirates will be able to offer passengers travelling to
and from the city excellent global connections via Dubai, combined with the
award-winning product and service the airline is renowned for.
“This includes operating the only First Class cabin between Dubai and Kabul”,
said Barry Brown, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, commercial
operations east.
We expect the flight to be particularly popular with corporate business
travellers, as well as Afghan nationals returning home to visit friends and
family.
“It will also present a new opportunity for cargo operations to the country,
particularly for the shipment of pharmaceuticals, perishable foodstuffs and
construction materials.”
EK 640 will depart Dubai daily at 09:55 and arrive in Kabul at 13:15.
EK 641 will leave Kabul at 15:30 hours and arrive back in
Dubai at 18:00.
