More belly capacity in less than three months
Starting 3 June 2024, Dubai-based Emirates will launch a new daily B777-300ER service from its hub to Bogotá, via Miami, complementing its scheduled services to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.
As well as connecting Colombia with the UAE, the new services will establish a historic first-ever link between the greater Middle East region and the northern part of South America. Each flight will also offer up to 20 t of cargo capacity, giving access to more global markets for Colombian exports such as fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables and other perishable goods.
Germán Umaña Mendoza, Colombia’s minister of trade, industry, and tourism: "The new route marks a major milestone in expanding the connectivity of our country, allowing us to strengthen trade, investment and tourism." (ah)
