阿联酋航空下调中国地区出发航线票价
对油价疲弱走势迅速反应 惠及乘客

       【中国上海，2008年11月3日】总部位于迪拜的阿联酋航空（下称“阿航”）近日宣布，对其在中国境内销售的飞往全球多个热门目的地的商务舱和经济舱机票作出票价调整。

        阿航从北京出发的早班航班票价降幅至少达36%（即调整后仅为原票价的64%），适用于阿航航线网络上56个目的地，包括阿曼、多哈、迪拜、慕尼黑、伦敦、巴黎、约翰内斯堡、毛里求斯等。

        与此同时，阿航从广州和上海出发，飞往中东、欧洲、非洲和南美洲等多个目的地的航班也提供了可观的机票折扣。

        阿联酋航空大中华区副总裁刘荣柱（Edwin Lau）先生表示：“我们航班的需求量目前依然保持强劲，而我们很乐意籍此油价下跌的机会调整票价。相信我们最新一轮的票价调整会受到乘客们的欢迎，尤其是在国际经济环境面临严峻挑战的时候。”

        目前，总部设在迪拜的阿联酋航空航线网络覆盖全球6大洲的102个城市。今年10月26日，阿航开通了每周3班、从迪拜飞往洛杉矶的直航航线。欲知更多航班和票价信息，请登录www.emirates.com或www.emirates.cn（中文）。

Emirates Revises Fares on China Routes
Latest move reflects softening of fuel prices

        Shanghai, China, 3rd November 2008 – Dubai-based Emirates Airline recently announced a revision on a range of its Business and Economy Class fares, for tickets issued in China, to a number of popular destinations worldwide.

        For tickets issued for the morning service to Beijing, the fare reduction will start at 36 per cent onwards and will be applicable on 56 selected Emirates flights, including those to Amman, Doha, Dubai, Munich, London, Paris, Johannesburg, Mauritius, etc.

        Emirates is also offering passengers departing Guangzhou and Shanghai attractive discounts to several destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America.

        Edwin Lau, Emirates’ Vice President, Greater China, said: “Demand for Emirates’ flights has remained robust, but we are glad to be able to introduce fare revisions in tandem with the lowering fuel prices. We believe that our latest round of revisions would be welcomed by our customers, particularly in light of the increasingly challenging economic climate.

        “Emirates is monitoring the situation closely. While we continue to provide a high-quality service and product, we are also working hard to keep our unit costs down so that we can keep on delivering the best value proposition to our customers.”

        In August, Emirates announced its first fare revision on the back of lowering oil prices for tickets issued in Middle East and GCC markets to over 20 cities in Europe, Far East and the Middle East.

        Based in Dubai, Emirates operates flights to 102 cities across six continents. On 26th October the airline commenced non-stop services between Dubai and Los Angeles, three times a week. For more information on Emirates flights and fares, visit www.emirates.com or www.emirates.cn (Chinese).
