Amid a recession that is hitting air travel hard, Emirates Airlines said Tuesday it is expanding its service from San Francisco.
The high-end airline said it will begin daily non-stop service on routes between Dubai to San Francisco and Los Angeles starting May 1. The Dubai-based carrier already offers three weekly flights linking San Francisco and Los Angeles to the United Arab Emirates.
Emirates said it is able to expand service because it has additional planes delivered by Boeing Co.
“We have been very successful with our new West Coast routes in the past four to six months,” said Emirates senior vice president Nigel Page.
Global air travel is on the decline. Passenger traffic has declined 10.1 percent globally between February 2009 and February 2008.
Emirates flies to more than 100 cities around the world.
