Emirates to start additional flight on Dhaka-Dubai route from Sept 1
Emirates will introduce an additional flight on its Dhaka-Dubai route from September 1.

The additional flight will render the total number of frequencies on the route to 10 per week, says a press release.

EK 585, the second Emirates' frequency to be operated on Saturdays, will depart Dhaka's Zia International Airport at 21:30 hours, arriving in Dubai at 00:25 hours the following day.

Emirates' flight EK 584 will take off from the ultra-modern Dubai International Airport every Saturday at 13:15 hours and touch down in Dhaka at 19:55 hours.

Hanif Zakaria, Emirates' area manager in Bangladesh, said: "The introduction of an additional frequency underlines Emirates' steady growth and expanding operations in Bangladesh. The airline recently added more capacity to its Dhaka route by de-linking Kuala Lumpur from its Dubai-Dhaka-Kuala Lumpur flights."

Earlier in the year, Emirates unveiled its new office at Zia International Airport.
