Emirates airline has launched on-demand charter services for passengers who want to make short trips to the GCC from Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai
Users of the private service will be able to travel to several of Emirates' Gulf Co-operation Council destinations, within and outside its network, with quick turnarounds to points in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The service will be operated using its Phenom 100 aircraft. The aircraft, manufactured by Brazil's Embraer, seats up to four passengers and was added by Emirates to its fleet in 2017. Each passenger can check in a medium-sized bag weighing up to 15kg, in addition to a carry-on handbag. Refreshments are available and special requests can be made to travel agents or booking representatives.
Travelers from Dubai using Emirates' charter services will be able to use chauffeur-driven vehicles to travel to Al Maktoum International. They will be greeted by a dedicated representative who will assist them throughout their journey at the airport, minimizing wait times and other preflight formalities.
At their destinations, travellers will have an on-ground escorted arrival and fast-tracked VIP clearance at customs and immigration provided by private terminal service partners. They will also have access to the private terminal's lounge upon arrival.
Emirates has made moves to bolster its services amid a resurgence in air travel, after the sector emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic. The company has increasingly tapped into emerging technologies to provide a more seamless travel experience. In March, it launched Sara, the world’s first check‑in robot assistant that aims to add to a faster travel experience.
Last week, the company announced it was planning a “mammoth” recruitment drive, using the latest technology including digital assessments, AI and other recruitment systems to select “in the most efficient and effective ways”.
