EMIRATES MAY ADD FLIGHTS TO KL

Emirates Airline is supportive of a request for an increase in flights to Kuala Lumpur during Ramadan as Malaysia eyes more Arab visitors during the Muslim fasting month, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said. She said the possibility of Emirates using the Airbus A380 superjumbo for the flights was mentioned in her talks with Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline and Group. “I requested Emirates to add flights to Malaysia during Ramadan… and he was very supportive,” she told the Malaysian media after the meeting which took place at the ongoing Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2010.
