[h=1]LEAK of the Week: Emirates to launch routes to Boston, Miami and Stockholm; Chicago on radar[/h]

Miami (Ser)Vice: New Miami and Boston services will mean Emirates will operate to nine US destinations in 2013. Neither city is served by any other Middle East carrier. Stockholm will become Emirates’ second Scandinavian city after Copenhagen.

Following on from our Turkish Airlines BIG LEAK, anna.aero has gained access to yet another previously unannounced route shopping list, this time from Emirates. The Dubai-based MEB3 (Middle East Big 3) carrier has been quiet by its own standards in having only announced new services to Warsaw (daily A330 from 6 February) and Algiers (daily A330 from 1 March) for introduction so far in 2013. However, with 11 A380s and 18 777-300s due for delivery this year, and a newly opened Concourse A at Dubai to fill, our revelation clearly shows that new metal is not just going to be used to bolster frequencies on existing routes.
[h=2]Boston tea party in Dubai[/h] Emirates is already the most active of all Middle East carriers in the US market, with seven stateside points in its network. If Boston and Miami are both introduced at daily frequency, this will see Emirates flying 70 weekly frequencies and probably around 25,000 weekly seats to the US by the end of 2013.

While Emirates will have no direct competition from any other Middle Eastern carrier the new US routes, data unearthed during our investigation indicated that Chicago could also be on the Dubai-based carrier’s US new route hit-list. Any launch by Emirates to the Windy City is likely to raise more than a few eyebrows from its regional competitors, with both Etihad and Royal Jordanian already operating there, and Qatar Airways intending to launch its own daily 777-300 service on 10 April this year. Etihad will return the favour on 31 March however, when it launches its own daily A340-500 service to Washington, making the US capital, along with New York JFK and possibly Chicago, only the third US route served by all three MEB3 airlines.
Saudia is not immune to developing its own North American expansion plans, having recently stated that it will launch flights to Toronto and Los Angeles in the Q3 of 2013 and Q2 of 2014 respectively. The latter route decision may have more to do with Prince Abdul Aziz, the Saudi King Abdullah’s third son, looking to build a mansion in the prestigious Beverley Hills 90210 zip code, more than any underlying business rationale.
[h=2]So is it true? (We asked MIA; ORD)[/h]

Taking the opportunity for one last sales pitch, Chris Mangos, Director, Marketing Division of Miami International Airport said: “MIA has been working with Emirates and several Gulf carriers for some time now, though as we communicate, I have not commitments from any. Our route expansion strategies do consider at least one direct Gulf route as necessary to serve not only the growing O&D traffic to points such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, but other Middle Eastern, North African and Indian markets as well. Our latest incentive program implemented this past November would give any carrier serving the Gulf up to two years of abated landing fees and matching funds towards advertising and promoting the new MIA-Gulf route.”
When we asked Chicago about the Emirates leak were were sent straight to the top with Rosemarie S. Andolino, Commissioner, Chicago Department of Aviation, telling anna.aero: “Expanding Chicago’s service and connectivity to the growing Middle East is a high priority for us. We have pursued Emirates for some time and look forward to the possibility of new service to Chicago in the near future.”
[h=2]“Winner takes it all” in the Stockholm market?[/h] Stockholm-Dubai is already served by Norwegian with a thrice weekly direct 737-800 service. However, it will be interesting to see whether this route will survive, particularly if Emirates launches a daily A330 service, as this scale of operation will offer more than three times as many weekly seats than the low-cost carrier. In terms of generating hub feed from the Swedish capital to onward points in Asia, Emirates will go also head-to-head with Qatar Airways’ daily A330 service.

“We do of course hope that the rumour is true and we do look forward to welcome Emirates to Stockholm-Arlanda,” said Swedavia’s Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Route Development when anna.aero asked her to comment on the prediction.
Emirates’ decision to serve Dubai-Stockholm not only fills a void left open by SAS, it also offers significant alternatives to SAS’ other three remaining Asian points – Tokyo Narita, Beijing and Shanghai (Bangkok is now served winter-only) – to which Swedes have to travel via Copenhagen.

"This one is going out to Micke at Stockholm Arlanda".

Dubai-based fans of ABBA are also excited. Marissa Woods, director of Image Factor UAE, told us she is keen to be on the Stockholm inaugural flight: “I have long dreamt of a direct flight to make my ABBA pilgrimage to Sweden, the place where ABBA called home, where women wear shocking bright blue eyeliner and the men have long flowing hair. I will certainly be one of the first holding my Emirates direct flight ticket, ready to be the ‘Dancing Queen’ for a Stockholm night. Skål!”

UAE-based Khansaheb Civil Engineering to build state-of-the-art Emirates facility
DUBAI, U.A.E., 19th December 2012: Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, announced the selection of Khansaheb Civil Engineering to build the Emirates Engine Overhaul Shop; a 225,000-sq. ft. engine maintenance facility for maintaining the GE90 and GP7200 engines that power Emirates aircraft. Slated to be the most technologically-advanced Engine Overhaul Shop in the region, the facility will service the engines of the

Emirates current fleet
of nearly 150 Boeing 777s and Airbus 380s, as well as the additional 138 more of these aircraft types on order.

Presently under construction and scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2014, the Engine Overhaul Shop will provide Emirates with the maintenance capabilities needed to assure continued safe operation of the engines powering the majority of the Emirates fleet. Managed by General Electric International (GE), Inc. and designed by US-based Burns and McDonnell Corp., the facility is valued at US $100 million and will support the maintenance of up to 300 engines per year. Emirates partner, GE will oversee the design and construction of the Shop; utilising the most advanced technology, equipment and industry best practices in managing engine repairs.

“Our new Engine Overhaul Shop will expand our ability to maintain and repair the thousands engines powering Emirates Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft. With the rapid expansion of Emirates over the past few years and further rigorous expansion scheduled, Emirates needed a way to better control maintenance costs while assuring safe and efficient operation of our fleet,” said Ali Mubarak Al Sorri, Emirates Executive Vice President, Chairman’s Office, Facilities, Construction & Design, Procurement Management and Procurement & Logistics Non Aircraft. “With the selection of Khansaheb Civil Engineering, a professional organisation based in the UAE, plus the expected Emiratis hired for positions at the new facility, the Emirates Engine Overhaul Shop will benefit all parties involved.”

Emirates reviewed and approved the selection of Khansaheb after a thorough and rigorous evaluation of numerous highly-qualified candidate construction companies across the UAE. A well-established and highly-regarded construction company operating in Dubai, the UAE and the MENA region, Khansaheb Civil Engineering has been in operation since 1935.

In addition to supporting Emirates’ fleet of over 120 Boeing 777s and 28 Airbus 380s, the new maintenance facility will support the Dubai economy by adding as many as 500 new engine maintenance positions for highly-skilled staff within Emirates, many of which are available for UAE Nationals. The Engine Overhaul Shop will complement the state-of-the-art Emirates Engine Test Centre; a 150,000-pound thrust capacity engine test facility already in operation 40 kilometres outside of the city of Dubai.
