Dubai-based Emirates has signed a new code share agreement with Flybe, the European regional airline.
The new agreement will see Emirates’ code added to 25 Flybe routes across the UK – subject to regulatory approval – adding a total of 13 new destinations to Emirates’ global network.
All Flybe flights will connect with Emirates' flights to Dubai and beyond at Emirates' Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham gateways.
Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vp said: “Emirates already offers 16 daily services from the UK to Dubai with another daily service flying from Birmingham from the beginning of August.
Important partnership
"Together with Flybe, we are taking more people to more places and opening up new UK destinations to people around the world. It’s an important partnership as we continue to expand the destinations available to Emirates’ passengers.”
Flybe operates more than 180 routes to 72 European airports. Emirates customers travelling on Flybe will be entitled to the same luggage allowance as on Emirates and checked through to their final destination.
All Emirates’ passengers on Flybe flights will receive boarding passes on check-in at their first international departure point for connecting international services. Emirates currently has code share agreements in place with 14 partners around the world including Australia's Qantas and Jetstar.
