EK to restart second daily LAX.
http://http://www.usatoday.com/story...-lax/78510264/
This week Emirates announced that it will add a second daily flight between Los Angeles International Airport and Dubai International Airport, beginning on July 1.
This second flight between LAX and DXB will be operated with an Airbus A380-800LR aircraft configured with 14 private suites in first class, 76 seats in business class and, in economy class, 401 seats.
Flight EK218 will leave Los Angeles at 10:30 p.m. daily and arrive in Dubai 16 hours later, at 1:30 a.m. Flight EK217 from Dubai will leave at 3 p.m. daily and arrive in Los Angeles at 8 p.m.
Emirates’ current A380 service between Los Angeles and Dubai leaves LAX at 4:45 p.m. and arrives in Dubai at 7:35 p.m. the following day. The flight from Dubai leaves at 8:55 a.m. and lands in Los Angeles at 1:55 p.m.
In announcing the new service, Emirates noted that its existing Dubai-LAX service provides $677 million in annual economic benefit to L.A. and the surrounding area, contributes over $270 million in annual spending by visitors, and helps to support nearly 6,000 U.S jobs.
The additional service to LAX not only doubles the airline’s capacity to meet visitor demand, said Hubert Frach, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, West, in a statement, “but also increases our positive economic impact to the Los Angeles area.”
