Emirates is switching from its current Airbus A330-200 aircraft used on one of the two daily services to a larger Boeing 777-300ER.
This will enable the airline to connect even more people with Kenya?s capital, Nairobi from 1st May, 2015.
According to Emirates, the introduction of a Boeing 777-300ER will boost its capacity on the route by 1638 seats a week, and make Nairobi an all-Boeing 777 operation for Emirates.
?Our Nairobi-Dubai service is one of our busiest routes in Africa, and it has been steadily growing since we first launched services to Kenya in October 1995 with just two weekly flights. ?
Orhan Abbas, Emirates Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Latin America, Southern and Central Africa said, Travellers will be able to enjoy Emirates? Boeing 777 service on both daily flights between Nairobi and Dubai, connecting conveniently to, or from, our worldwide network of more than 140 destinations -in particular, Europe, US, Far East and West Asia.
?This includes our A380 network of 34 destinations across the globe, such as Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Mumbai, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Toronto.? he added,
The Emirates Boeing 777-300ER will offer 354 seats in a three-class configuration, with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 304 spacious seats in Economy Class.
The larger aircraft also provides a total of 77 tonnes of additional cargo capacity per week on the route, further facilitating trade opportunities between Kenya and Emirates? extensive global route network.
