UAE's Emirates Airline aims for 40-pct increase in flights to China


DUBAI, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Dubai-based Emirates Airline is set to expand its services to China, aiming for a 40 percent increase in flights, the Gulf News of the United Arab Emirates reported Friday, citing Adnan Kazim, the airline's chief commercial officer.

To meet the rising demand, Emirates is reintroducing the wide-body airliner, Airbus A380, on its China routes, reversing an earlier shift to smaller Boeing 777 aircraft that could reduce the airline's seat capacity by nearly 30 percent, according to the Gulf News.
