Emirates enhances Algiers service
Emirates will be able to connect even more people and cargo with Algiers from October 1 when it switches from an Airbus A340-300 to a larger Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
“In line with the healthy commercial demand, we are pleased to introduce our Boeing 777-300 aircraft on to our Algiers route, offering our customers more seats and an enhanced on-board experience,” says Adil Al Ghaith, svp commercial operations for Northern and Western Africa.
Emirates is confident the B777-300 service will raise the bar for travel experience in the Algerian market. “Our B777-300 will offer Emirates’ renowned cabin comforts and facilities, including our award-winning ICE entertainment system in every seat, luxurious seats in business and first class, and extra leg-room in economy class,” says Adil.
The increase in capacity will offer 97 additional economy-class seats per flight, a 45% increase. The number of premium cabin seats remains unchanged, offering customers a choice of 12 first-class flat-bed seats and 42 business-class seats.
On board, the ICE entertainment system offers up to 2 000 channels of on-demand entertainment at every seat; there are dedicated children’s menus and activities, and gourmet regionally inspired dishes with complimentary beverages, served by Emirates’ multi-lingual cabin crew, including Algerian nationals. The generous baggage allowance is 30kg for economy class; 40kg for business class and 50kg for first class.
EK757 leaves Dubai every Sunday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 08h45 and arrives at Houari Boumediene Airport at 13h10. The return flight, EK758, departs Algiers at 15h45 and lands in Dubai at 01h25 the next day.
