EMIRATES TO INCREASE FLIGHT FREQUENCY TO KUALA LUMPUR

KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 (Bernama) -- Emirates Airlines will increase its
flight frequency between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai to 14 weekly from the current
12.
In a statement here today, the Dubai-based Emirates said it would launch the
new service, beginning May 1.

"This increase in flight frequency follows increasing demand from not just
business but leisure travellers as well," said Emirates Malaysia country manager
Alban Lee.

He said despite the current economic downturn, the Middle East and Far East
continue to register growth in the travel and tourism industries, with Malaysia
being a leading holiday destination.

"The additional flights between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai would encourage an
increase in tourist traffic into Malaysia," he added.

In conjunction with the increase, the company will also introduce its first
class cabin service on four of the 14 weekly flights, Lee said.
