Emirates restarts direct Adelaide flights

The reinstated service offers over 4,200 weekly seats between Dubai and the South Australian capital aboard Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.

The aircraft offers 302 seats across two cabins, with 38 Business Class seats, alongside 264 seats in Economy Class.

The Emirates flights are estimated to generate more than $62 million per year and create more than 315 full-time equivalent tourism-related jobs according to the South Australian Tourism Commission.

South Australia Premier, Peter Malinauskas, said, “The return of Emirates’ daily service to Adelaide is significant for South Australia. We’re not just welcoming back a world-class airline; we’re re-opening South Australia’s doors to the world.”

Emirates now operates 70 weekly services from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

On 1 December, Emirates will reinstate its second daily service to Perth, then offering a total of 77 weekly flights from Australia.
