Emirates boosts links from Cardiff Airport
21.07.10
South Wales travellers now have the opportunity to connect with Emirates Airline from Cardiff Airport via a number of the carrier’s UK and European services. Passengers flying on various 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 expanding 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 the airline that can be booked on the Emirates website, www.emirates.com/uk. The connections 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 air development, said: ‘We’re 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’re not always going to be able to offer direct services to long haul destinations; however we stress that 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.’
