Airlines link to Emirates flights from Cardiff
21.07.10
Welsh travellers now have the opportunity to connect with Emirates flights from Cardiff Airport via a number of the airline’s UK and European services. Passengers flying with scheduled airlines from Cardiff, such as Flybe and Eastern Airways, can connect with Emirates services to Dubai via Newcastle, Glasgow, Paris and Amsterdam, and then onwards to its network of over 100 worldwide destinations – checking in only once at Cardiff Airport.
Cardiff has become one of the few UK destinations not served directly by Emirates that can be booked on its website, www.emirates.com/uk. The connections will also potentially attract inbound tourism to Wales and put the Welsh capital on the global tourism map as the flights will be available to book in overseas destinations as far away as New Zealand and Australia.
Spencer Birns, Cardiff Airport’s head of development, said: ‘We are glad to be able to offer our passengers the chance to experience this award-winning airline through simple connections from their local airport. As a regional airport we are not always able to offer direct services to long haul destinations; however flying from your local airport and connecting onto flights in airports such as Paris, Dublin or Amsterdam to worldwide locations is often a much easier, more convenient, time-saving and can be a cheaper way of travelling.’
