Emirates announced plans to launch six-flights-a-week service non-stop service starting 1st July will connect Kozhikode to over 50 countries in Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa and will strengthen inbound arrivals for Kerala’s thriving tourism industry. This picture captures the scenic backwaters of Kozhikode †a perennial favourite of tourists.
<br> Kozhikode, Emirates’ third gateway in Kerala after Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram and its 10th in India, bears testimony of the airline’s long-standing commitment to this market and its robust expansion drive.
To promote its award-winning product and to brief the travel trade on the wide range of services offered, Emirates hosted a massive road show in Kozhikode on 26th April.
On the route Emirates will operate the technologically-advanced Boeing 777-200 and Airbus A330-200 aircraft in two-class configurations offering over 2000 seats and almost 100 tonnes of cargo capacity per week per direction.
Onboard, passengers will enjoy multi-course meals with ethnic dishes prepared by master chefs and accompanied by an extensive range of beverages; attentive service from the airline’s multi-lingual crew; personal entertainment systems; and quieter and more restful cabins equipped with wider seats.
Earlier this year, Emirates launched daily services to Cape Town on 30th March. Guangzhou will be added to the airline’s rapidly-expanding network on 1st July, the same day that Emirates commences flights to Kozhikode. The airline will also advance its footprint in North America with the launch of services to Los Angeles and San Francisco on 1st September and 26th October respectively.
