Emirates goes double daily to Boston

Emirates launched its second daily flight to Boston on 1 October 2015.

The new outbound service, flight EK239, will now depart Dubai every day at 0320 and arrive at Boston’s Logan International Airport at 0855. The return flight, EK240, will depart at 1155 and arrive back in Dubai at 0815 the following day.

The new service will supplement the existing 0840 departure from Dubai, and both flights will be operated using Emirates’ three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

“The additional service to Boston not only doubles our capacity to meet demand, but will also provide passengers with the option to fly to new destinations out of Boston Logan International Airport,” said Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president of commercial operations.

“The new flight will also create improved connections for passengers travelling from Dhaka, Kolkata, and many destinations throughout Africa, the GCC and Middle East via Dubai and onwards to the US.”

Emirates now serves 10 US gateways: Orlando, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Washington DC and New York.
