“Following the signing of the Air

Emirates in April 2011, we have been busy planning this route and it comes at a
very exciting time for the airline, as our global network continues to expand,”
said Tim Clark, President Emirates
Airline.
“Emirates will offer tourists and
business travellers, particularly from the Middle East, Africa and Europe, a
convenient option to access Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City is one of the most
vibrant places in South East Asia and we are convinced that this will prove to
be a highly popular route. We look forward to growing our partnership with
Vietnam and would like to thank the Government and Airport Authorities for
their support in the planning of our launch,” Mr
Clark added.

Chi Minh City will be the Emirates’ eighth route launch in 2012, following on
from Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro on 3rd January; Dublin on 9th January;
