Emirates Will Begin Flying To These 4 New Cities This Year

The routes are summarized below. They include Siem Reap. The Cambodian city is at the heart of the country’s tourism industry, particularly because of Angkor Wat. When the first flight lifts off, Siem Reap will become Emirates’ least-served passenger destination.
Da Nang is also new to Emirates’ map. While Siem Reap will be flown three weekly, Da Nang—the carrier’s third Vietnamese city—will have four weekly flights (i.e., on the other days). Due to being about tourists and visiting friends and relatives, 421-seat Boeing 777-300ERs—its highest-capacity twinjet—will be flown.
