Read More » The EK390/391 rotation commenced on July 2, when A350-900 registration A6-EXM took off from Dubai just after 2300 local time on July 1, touching down at Phuket about six hours and 15 minutes later. The aircraft was on the ground for about 90 minutes before operating the reciprocal EK391 back to Dubai. Emirates is the only airline flying nonstop between Phuket and Dubai. "The additional flight frequency to Phuket complements the airline’s existing schedule and provides much-needed capacity to meet the deep tourism appeal and surge in summer travel demand from Europe and the Middle East/GCC," Emirates said, referring to the Gulf Cooperation Council member states. "The introduction of Emirates flight EK391 also significantly enhances cargo connectivity from Phuket by providing an additional daytime departure to Dubai, with improved connection opportunities to onward gateways across Europe, the UK, Africa, the GCC and North America." Emirates also serves Bangkok Suvarnabhumi from its Dubai hub.
