Emirates flies to Washington

Emirates has launched a daily non-stop service from Dubai to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). It is the seventh gateway for Emirates in the United States, and the twelfth new route to join the airline's international network in 2012.

"Emirates offers new choices, competition and a higher level of internationally recognised service to the Washington, DC market with a state-of-the-art product and fleet," said President of Emirates Airline, Tim Clark.

"As one of the most important global cities in the world, we look forward to connecting DC-area travellers with the largest number of one-stop flights to Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Southeast Asia", he said.
