Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, will deploy a Boeing 777-300 aircraft to Warsaw from Jan. 1, 2014.

The upgrade will come less than one year after the route’s introduction. Since the launch in February of this year, more than 58,000 passengers have traveled with Emirates on the Dubai-Warsaw route.

"Our Warsaw service has developed quickly and with demand continuing to increase, we feel the right time has come for Emirates to expand its capacity," said Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional SVP commercial operations West. “With the introduction of the larger aircraft, we will offer more than 5,000 seats every week on the route to key destinations like Dubai, Bangkok, Delhi, Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, and Australian network,” added Frach.

Emirates started its daily, non-stop flights to Warsaw from Dubai on Feb. 6, 2013 with an Airbus A330-200. To meet growing demand on the route, the airline will upgrade the aircraft to a Boeing 777-300, with 12 luxurious seats in First Class, 42 deeply reclining seats in Business Class and 310 generously-sized Economy Class seats, increasing passenger capacity by almost 54 percent.

All classes of the new aircraft are equipped with Emirates’ award-winning ice entertainment system with more than 600 channels on-demand entertainment to choose from, including movies, television programs, games, audio books and music from across the world.

Passengers flying First Class with Emirates can enjoy a very generous baggage allowance of 50 kg, in Business Class, 40 kg and in Economy Class, a sizable 30 kg. The airline’s chauffeur-drive service is available to both First Class and Business Class passengers.
