“Our second daily service to Brisbane begins as we proudly celebrate 20 years of flying to the sunshine state,” Barry Brown, divisional vice president of Australasia at Emirates said in a statement.
“Not only will this service cater to the demand of Australians looking to travel overseas, but also welcome more travelers and tourists from Dubai and across our global network to enjoy Queensland, Australia’s tourism mecca,” Brown added.
Steven Miles, the interim premier of Queensland, highlighted the additional jobs that the expanded Dubai-Brisbane route will create.
Emirates’ extensive worldwide network to over 130 destinations will ensure a high level of connectivity with the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Africa, and North America,” Miles said.
