Emirates, the Dubai based international airline, has launched an irresistible deal to Maltese customers wishing to visit Dubai. Two persons travelling together to Dubai will pay for only one ticket and the second person will travel free of charge excluding taxes. Passengers can book from now till 30th November 2008 for travel from the 1st November to 31st December 2008.

The offer is valid for all passengers travelling in all three classes, First, Business and Economy – tickets must be issued between the 16th October and 30th November 2008. Other terms and conditions apply.

Paul Fleri Soler, Emirates Manager for Malta and Cyprus, said: “We are offering this irresistible fare offer to give our business and leisure travellers an opportunity to visit Dubai. From December 2008 onwards, the Dubai-Malta route will become a daily service. The increase from the current five-times-a-week service is the latest in a series of milestones that reflect Emirates’ longstanding commitment to Malta as it connects the island to one of the most exciting cities on earth, Dubai.”

Dubai is now a modern metropolis, deftly mixing Arab tradition with architectural marvels and stunning coastline. Ambitious developments such as the Burj Al Arab, The Palms and The World, alongside Dubai’s renowned shopping malls and beaches, have attracted tourists seeking a mix of the exotic and the spectacular.

Emirates currently flies five times weekly from Dubai to Malta via Larnaca in Cyprus, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on the Boeing 777-300. As from 1st December 2008, Emirates will be operating flights to Malta on a daily basis.

Emirates operates services to 101 cities in 61 countries across six continents. New routes for this year include Cape Town, Kozhikode in India and Guangzhou in China, while Los Angeles kicks off October 26, followed by San Francisco on December 15.
