The capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna will be Emirates’ fourth Italian destination bringing Emirates’ weekly flights to Italy to 56.

Set to be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER in a three class configuration, Emirates will offer the only long-haul wide-bodied service to and from the city.

“The addition of a fourth Italian gateway is another new and exciting development for Emirates,” said Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president and chief commercial officer.

“We have been committed to Italy for over 23 years and in that time we have played an important role in increasing opportunities for business and tourism across the country, thanks to our convenient connections to over 49 destinations in the Far East, Middle East and Africa.”

The new flight will add 5040 international seats per week to and from the city.

Emirates’ flight EK093 will depart Dubai International Airport at 8.45am and will arrive at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport at 12.20pm the same day. The return flight will depart Bologna at 2.40pm and arrive in Dubai at 11.30pm the same day.
