DUBAI, U.A.E, 29th March 2009 – Emirates has today announced increased services to tehran as a key regional gateway.

Starting from the 1st May, Emirates will introduce an extra two weekly flights to Tehran, further reinforcing the airline’s extensive operations across the Middle East.

“The Middle East is one of the most active aviation markets in the world and an integral part of Emirates operations,” said Ahmed Khoory, Emirates’ Senior Vice President Commercial Operations - Gulf Middle East & Iran. “The addition of these flights has been implemented in recognition of the increased demand for services across the Middle East and will provide much needed capacity on these perpetually busy routes.”

“The enhanced capacity will also offer excellent connections to Emirates extensive global network as well as provide extra flights for the thousands of expatriate residents who live and work in Dubai but whose family is still based in their home country.”

Recent statistics released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) show that demand for services across the Middle East grew 3.1 per cent in January 2009 despite the global economic downturn, with Emirates well placed to capitalize on this growth.

The additional flights to Tehran marks a significant increase in flights  for Emirates bringing its weekly operation to 21 flights to Tehran.
