Emirates in China
The launch of an
interline agreement with Loong Air is part of Emirates' ongoing commitment to

offerings by deploying its award-winning Premium Economy on these new routes,
in addition to bringing back its iconic A380 on Shanghai flights.
Emirates has been
operating in the Chinese mainland since 2004. Today, the airlineserves five
major cities with 49 weekly flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen
and Hangzhou using a mix of A380s, A350s and Boeing 777s.
In addition to Loong Air, Emirates is also partnered with Air China, China Southern Airlines and Sichuan Airlines, offering customers access to more than 110 points in China beyond its own network, via its existing 5 gateways. -TradeArabia News Service
