There is much to be wary of when choosing private jet flight providers. Failures with both fractional operators, such as Jet It and jet card providers, such as JetSuite, cost customers tens of millions of dollars in cumulative losses. In both cases, it was likely a stew of growth plans that were too ambitious, flaws in their business models, external issues with their suppliers, and just bad timing. More recently, in the case of AeroVanti, there are lawsuits, allegations of fraud, and their CEO has been indicted by the Department of Justice for actions in unrelated companies. In these instances, the buyers were generally UHNWs who shelled out six figures or more to fly privately. By the same token, it’s easy to lose smaller amounts money, perhaps not inconsequential to your bank account. They are usually cloaked in promises of cheap private jet flights, often via empty legs.
Emirates ramps up Seoul operations to 10 weekly flights
04.01.2024 - 13:29 / traveldailynews.com / Vicky Karantzavelou
Through the three weekly Boeing 777 flights, Emirates will provide 45 tonnes of additional cargo capacity between Dubai and Seoul, boosting the trade and economic ties between South Korea and the UAE as well as through Dubai and beyond to more global destinations in Emirates’ network, further contributing to Korea’s economy and facilitating convenient air connectivity for the Republic’s imports and exports.
DUBAI, UAE – Emirates reinforces its commitment to South Korea by ramping up its operations in Seoul with three additional weekly flights starting 19 February 2024.
The new flights will operate as EK324/ EK325 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Operated by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, Emirates’ flight EK324 will depart Dubai at 0445hrs, landing in Seoul Incheon International Airport at 1805hrs. The return flight EK325 will depart Seoul at 2200hrs, arriving in Dubai at 0315hrs the following day.
Emirates’ additional services will increase the capacity on flights between Dubai and Seoul by more than 1,000 additional seats per week, helping to alleviate the suppressed demand for international travel to one of the most popular East Asian destinations and supporting South Korea’s inbound and outbound tourism. The airline’s ramped-up operations will further serve the need for adding more flights between UAE and Korea, in line with the strong bilateral relations between the two nations.
Emirates launched services to Seoul in 2005 and currently operates a daily Airbus A380 service from Dubai. With the additional services, the airline will serve Seoul with 10 weekly flights operated by a mix of its signature Airbus A380 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, guaranteeing more flexibility and choice for its customers to and from Dubai, as well as beyond to its global network of over 130 destinations.
