Emirates is responding to strong passenger demand in Tunis by launching an extra frequency and introducing the Airbus A340-500 on to the Dubai- Tunis route, commencing 25 March 2012.
The new frequency means that Emirates will serve Tunis daily, utilizing the Airbus 340-500 family of technologically-advanced aircraft in a three-class configuration, offering 12 First Class Private Suites, 42 seats in Business Class and 204 Economy Class seats.
The additional flight, coupled with an aircraft upgrade, will increase Emirates’ capacity to Tunis by almost 30 per cent, representing an extra 384 seats each way per week. It will also provide an additional 15 tonnes of weekly cargo capacity.
Currently, Emirates six-weekly flights to Tunis are served by an Airbus A330- 200 aircraft in a three-class configuration.
