Emirates launches three new destinations in Asia

Emirates has strengthened its presence across Asia with the launch of daily non-stop flights between Dubai and Shenzhen, set to commence on July 1 this year.

In addition, the airline will launch four weekly services to Da Nang on June 2, and three weekly flights to Siem Reap from June 3, with both destinations connecting via Bangkok.

With the inclusion of Shenzhen, Da Nang, and Siem Reap, Emirates now operates 269 weekly flights from Dubai to 24 destinations, according to a press release.

This expansion also marks Emirates' fourth gateway into mainland China, its third destination in Vietnam, and its second point of service in Cambodia.

In 2002, Emirates became the first airline to establish direct air connectivity between the Middle East and mainland China, with the initiation of services between Dubai and Shanghai.

This milestone heralded the beginning of a fruitful two-decade partnership, underpinned by strong bilateral ties between the UAE and China, now reflected in operations in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

Through its extensive passenger and freighter services, Emirates facilitates the transport of 2,000 tonnes of cargo weekly from mainland China.

The addition of four weekly services to Da Nang via Bangkok now makes it the airline's third Vietnamese gateway, following Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Flights to Da Nang will be operated with the Emirates Boeing 777 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Meanwhile, the airline's three weekly services to Siem Reap will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Travellers planning journeys to Shenzhen, Da Nang, Siem Reap, or Bangkok via Emirates' existing gateways can capitalise on the airline's extensive partnerships, including 24 codeshare and interline agreements, providing access to an exceptional array of seamlessly integrated multi-city itineraries.
