EMIRATES OFFERS MORE CAPACITY TO MALAYSIANS

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- In response to an increasing demand from
business and leisure travellers, Emirates Airlines is increasing its capacity on
the Kuala Lumpur to Dubai route by over 20 percent.

In a statement, Emirates said starting Wednesday, it will de-link Jakarta
from its current Kuala Lumpur - Jakarta - Dubai routing and instead operate
dedicated non-stop flights between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai.

From Dec 1 onwards, the carrier will also add three extra flights per week
to Dubai from Kuala Lumpur.

The additional flights will boost Emirates services from Kuala Lumpur to
Dubai to twelve flights per week.

Emirates' Country Manager, Alban Lee said the additional capacity satisfies
the increasing demand for flights among its discerning business and leisure
travellers from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai and vice versa.

"It also further strengthens the airline's commitment to this market and in
supporting Malaysia's efforts to position itself as an ideal tourism and
business destination," he said.

The additional flights between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai will be operated
using an Airbus A330-200.
