Dubai, Emirate Airlines announced, as of August 2012, it will increase its daily flight capacity to both Kuwait and Doha, a total increase of almost 29 percent for both routes.

With the scheduled frequency additions, operations to Doha and Kuwait will be six and five daily services respectively. A total of 46,430 seats available for inbound and outbound booking weekly. Doha will be serviced by Airbus A340-300 while Kuwait by a Boeing 777-300ER, both in three class configuration.

“These additional frequencies have been added to accommodate increasing demand from our customers. Both Doha and Kuwait are extremely viable markets for Emirates and there is a clear indication that they will continue to grow exponentially in the coming years,” said Ahmed Khoory, Emirates’ Senior Vice President Commercial Operations, Gulf, Middle East and Iran.

“The Middle East is one of the most active aviation markets in the world and these additional daily frequencies, to two of the region’s key destinations, will provide even more convenient connections to onward travel through our international hub of Dubai.” Khoory added.

Emirates operated flights to Doha since 1994, the most recent increase in frequencies was in December 2009 when services went from four flights a day to five. Kuwait has been part of the Emirates network since 1989 and last received an increase in flights in July 2009.
