Emirates plans to add 4 new weekly flights between Dubai and Manila as part of its ongoing growth strategy in Southeast Asia and its long-term commitment to the Republic of the Philippines. Starting from April 2, Emirates will operate flight EK330 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The flights will be operated by Boeing 777 aircraft, equipped with eight private suites in First Class, 42 seats that convert into flat-bed seats in Business Class, and 304 spacious seats in Economy Class. With this expansion, the airline will offer wider options and enhanced connectivity for business travelers, customers in the maritime cargo sector, as well as the large Filipino diaspora through Emirates' global network, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain, the United States, Kuwait, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey, Portugal, and South Africa. The Emirates Boeing 777 can carry up to 20 tons of cargo in its lower cargo hold with a full passenger load. With the addition of four new weekly flights to Manila using this wide-body aircraft, Emirates will boost its air cargo capacity, supporting the flow of imports and exports between Manila and Dubai, as well as with other key markets in Europe, the US, and the Indian subcontinent.
