Emirates aapner flyplass nummer to i Seattle

[LN-MOW]

1, mars begynner Emirates ogsaa toveis trafikk fra Seattle etter at de i mange aar kun hatt enveisflighter fra Everett. ^_^

Emirates, the giant and fast-growing Middle Eastern airline, will begin daily nonstop flights between Dubai and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on March 1, the airline announced Wednesday.

The move will offer travelers a new option from Seattle to destinations in the Middle East, Asia and Africa via the airline's hub in Dubai, which is one of the United Arab Emirates.

Og Emirates benytter anledningen til aa pushe litt paa Boeing.

With Emirates already the largest operator of big 777 widebodies in the world, he'll visit Seattle on Monday to meet with Lars Andersen, Boeing's head of 777 advanced development. Clark is working closely with Andersen on Boeing's key project to design an updated 777.

Although Boeing has its hands full right now, Clark is pushing the company for a 777 revamp no later than 2018. He's demanding a 777 that will carry more passengers, fly farther and be 10 to 15 percent cheaper to operate.

Samtidig annonserer de også DFW, og sier de planlegger ytterligere en ny destinasjon i USA i 2012, så de er også hissige i USA også

SEA er planlagt med 777-300ER ser det ut som, mens DFW -200LR

Lars Andersen, han hørtes veldig norsk ut

Nok en Emirates flight som vil krysse norsk luftrom nå og da.. Har de planer om flere nye ruter til USA/Canada, evt. flere avganger på eksisterende?
