The extra frequency will be linked to the existing itinerary between the airline's homebase and Larnaca.

The Dubai – Larnaca – Athens service will be operated by a Boeing 777-30ER aircraft in a three-class configuration.

As Thierry Aucoc, senior vice president, commercial operations, Europe and Russia, Emirates, commented, "By linking the new service to our existing Dubai – Larnaca flight, Emirates becomes the only airline to operate a wide-body aircraft on the popular Larnaca – Athens route."
