22,000 a month use Emirate’s Dublin to Dubai service

Emirates has carried more than 1m passengers on the airline’s Dublin to Dubai services and beyond in the four years since it first took off from Ireland.

The provision of a second daily service out of Dublin last year has been mainly responsible for the major boost in traffic and the airline now boasts an impressively high passenger load factor of more than 85%.

Irish manager Enda Corneille was in Cork yesterday and said there was a significant contribution in traffic numbers from the Munster region following the appointment of a dedicated sales executive for the region, Clare’s Helena Sweeney.
