Emirates to Boston

Boston is to be the latest United States destination for Emirates, a daily flight introduced from 10 March 2014.  A three-class 266-seat Boeing 777-200LR will be used for the 13-hour service.  Emirates has a partnership relationship with American carrier JetBlue, the largest operator into Boston’s Logan International Airport, which will considerably help with connecting traffic both ways. 

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group, said: “Our Boston service will further develop this exciting gateway into the north-eastern United States.  Based on passenger demand, we believe the time is right to further boost our US operations, while stimulating channels of trade and tourism to and from the state of Massachusetts and the wider New England region”.

An announcement is expected shortly that El Al is to operate Tel Aviv – Boston. www.emirates.com
