This is how Emirates operates its flights from Zurich

On 1 October 2024, Emirates will launch the new cabin product on Zurich flights. Following the launch of the first Boeing 777 on one of the two daily Geneva flights, Emirates sill also be flying from Zurich with four classes - under flight numbers EK 85 and EK 86. From 22 September, two daily flights with the latest Boeing 777 (flight numbers EK 89 and EK 90) will also be operated between Geneva and Dubai.

Mohammad Lootah, Emirates Country Manager Switzerland, says: ‘Just one week after the successful introduction of our modernised cabin product in Geneva, we can already feel the enthusiasm of the passengers. The fact that our twice-daily flights from Geneva are now being operated with the modernised Boeing 777 shows how successfully our improved service has been received. Demand is just as strong in Zurich, so it is a logical destination to offer flights in a four-class Boeing 777 in the upcoming weeks.’

‘Switzerland is a strategic market in Emirates' European network and demand for premium cabins is strong in both Zurich and Geneva. We are delighted to be able to offer our guests the latest cabin products and further enhance their flying experience. We look forward to a successful launch in Zurich this October,’ adds Mohammad Lootah.

New cabin soon available to 28 destinations

With an expanded list of cities served by both the modernised Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft, Emirates is offering its customers greater choice and an even better flying experience in all cabin classes. The airline plans to serve 28 cities with Premium Economy Class by the end of this year. To date, 25 aircraft have been upgraded, with an additional 17 set to receive a facelift by December 2024.
