Emirates is strengthening its connectivity with Japan by introducing a second daily flight on the Dubai to Tokyo (Narita) route. Starting May 1, the award-winning airline will deploy its newly retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for this additional service. The aircraft features Emirates’ new Premium Economy cabin, along with refreshed interiors across all classes.
This expanded connectivity further enhances Emirates’ services to Japan, which have been in operation since 2002. Currently, the journey of approximately 14,580 km is covered in around 11 hours, with daily flights operating to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda, and Osaka.
With the launch of the second Narita flight from May 1, Emirates will operate 28 weekly flights serving three Japanese gateways, offering more than 22,500 weekly seats to and from Japan.
