Emirates Celebrates 10 years flying from Dublin

#Traveltradetogether

2022 marked Emirates’ 10th birthday on the Dublin Dubai route and Don Shearer (Travelbiz) joined trade media partners and guests at Emirates celebratory lunch in House, Leeson Street, which will be followed by a very special trade partner event in the Shelbourne this week. The weather tried it’s very best to dampen the occasion, but it failed miserably as we were treated to fine food, wines and great company as we reconnect and #flybetter.

Congratulations to Tara Povey, who won 2 business class tickets to Dubai! Tara provided the nearest guess to the amount of jelly beans in the jar!

Having reduced its service to just two weekly flights at the start of the pandemic, Emirates is currently operating a daily service between Dublin and Dubai and onwards to more than 120 destinations. The really good news is that Emirates will be back to 11 flights a week from 01 July and double daily by August!!!!

The top two destinations for Ireland’s holidaymakers this season are Dubai and the Maldives, with Dubai attracting almost 70% of all passenger traffic.
