Plan for Switzerland: Will Emirates come to Zurich with an Airbus A350 or Boeing 777X?

Mohammad Lootah is happy about the quality of fresh herbs. “It’s a miracle,” said the Emirates manager, who took charge of the Swiss market in July. If it is a Wohltat, the Fensters must go into the water and hear the rain pouring. It couldn’t be otherwise. The 31 years have found some of our favorite destinations: Dubai, Riyadh, Kuwait, Amman and Tel Aviv.

Switzerland is another important market for Emirates. “The Kaufkraft is like that, it can make a lot of journeys and the human journey,” says Lootah. An Emirates flight with four flights to the small country – Zwei Mal to Zurich (one flight with Airbus A380 and one flight with Boeing 777-300 ER) and Zwei Mal to Geneva (with Boeing 777-300 ER). Damit has the Golfairline jeden Monat fast 46,000 seats in Dubai and both Swiss Airports and – jeden Monat.

Combination with Flydubai option

Seit Kurzem flies to Emirates’ small Schwester in Switzerland. Flydubai serves three days in Basel. «The opening of the journey is new Möglichkeiten. “You can enjoy your performance in Basel and stay in Zurich,” explains Lootah. The Golfairline has been serving Switzerland for more than 32 years.

Rund vier von zehn Passagieren aus der Schweiz bleiben in Dubai. The others travel to the Drehkreuz with Richtung Asia, erzählt Lootah. “Australia, Thailand and the Maldives are the key decisions of the Emirates manager.

Premium Economy price for Schweizer Markt

Gerade weil der Markt is so kaufkräftig, setzt Emirates Airbus A380 and the new Boeing 777 with modern cabins after Geneva and Zurich. Now that we have a new First, Business and Economy class, we are moving to a Premium Economy Class. “That is important for the market,” so Lootah.

And whatever the case with the new models, the Emirates are being approached. “Nor is it not possible”, but it is an impossible plan for Zurich and Geneva in the first phase of the construction of the Airbus A350. «We are looking at business plans and marketing arrangements».

Boeing 777X würde besser passengers

There is an idea that Emirates will go to Zurich or Geneva with the Airbus A350. “Both Schweizer Abflughäfen see a solid journey after a trip in First Class and the A350 is not even a solution.” And the Boeing 777X? “Dafür ist es noch zu früh,” said Lootah. If you make the final decision, it will happen. The new version of the Triple Seven was awarded first class status at Emirates.
