Emirates says it’s all systems go for daily flights from Dubai to Mexico City via Barcelona from 9 December 2019 to cater for demand. The new route will be operated with a two-class Emirates Boeing 777-200LR which offers 38 Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration and 264 seats in Economy Class.
Hola Mexico!
Emirates will launch a new daily service from Dubai to Mexico City International Airport via Barcelona as of 9 December 2019.
Emirates’ Mexico City flight will be a linked service with Barcelona, meaning that customers can travel between the two cities in “unprecedented style and comfort”, according to the airline.
The new route will be operated with a two-class Emirates Boeing 777-200LR which offers 38 Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration and 264 seats in Economy Class.
Great for trade and tourism
“We are excited to be able to introduce new air connectivity between Dubai and Mexico,” said Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline.
“The availability of high-quality, daily international air services is essential for the development of tourism, business and cultural ties. Trade, especially in high-value and time-sensitive products, will be facilitated by the ample cargo capacity on Emirates’ Boeing 777 aircraft. We also expect tourism to receive a major boost from the daily flights on our newly-refurbished Boeing 777-200LR.”
Barcelona the logical choice
Due to the high altitude of Mexico City airport, a non-stop flight from Dubai is not possible. Barcelona was a natural choice for a stopover.
“We are pleased to offer a direct connection on the route between the Spanish city and Mexico City that has long been neglected by other airlines and remains underserved despite the strong customer demand,” Mr Clark said.
Mexico City, the first destination in Mexico to be served by Emirates, is the largest city of Mexico and the most populous city in North America. Mexico’s capital is one of the most important cultural and financial centres in the Americas, accounting for nearly a third of the nation’s GDP.
Steeped in history
Located in the Valley of Mexico at an altitude of 2,240 metres, the city is famous for its historic centre known as Zocalo, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mexico City is also an important trade and industrial city, specifically in the automotive, medical supplies and pharmaceutical industries.
Mexico is a popular destination for business and leisure travellers around the world, in particular from UAE, Spain, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Egypt and Lebanon.
