Emirates will launch a daily non-stop flight between Dubai and Shenzhen starting July 1, expanding its network in the Chinese mainland to four cities, alongside Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. This addition increases the airline's total passenger flights to 42 round-trip services per week, enhancing connectivity between China and the Middle East.
The new route will be operated by Emirates' retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER, featuring four cabin classes: First Class private suites, Business Class lie-flat seats, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. Emirates will also introduce a curated menu of Cantonese cuisine, ensuring an authentic dining experience complemented by a selection of premium beverages tailored for travelers from Southern China.
The flight schedule is designed to optimize connections between China and Emirates' extensive global network, including more than 50 countries along the “Belt and Road” initiative. Emirates has transported nearly 18 million passengers between China and Dubai over the past two decades, playing a key role in strengthening economic and trade relations between the UAE and China.
Beyond passenger services, Emirates SkyCargo operates 13 weekly freighter flights to China—six to Shanghai, five to Guangzhou, and two to Beijing—supporting trade by transporting up to 2,000 tonnes of cargo weekly.
