“Thailand is an important market for Emirates, we currently operate four daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, including one with our Airbus A380 aircraft.  We are confident that Phuket will prove a popular destination for our passengers, especially those from the UAE, Middle East and Europe”, added Mr Clark.

Phuket will become the 15th route launch for the airline this year and the second in South East Asia following on from Ho Chi Minh City in June. www.emirates.com
