Emirates has launched its expanded network in the Philippines, with the inaugural flight of its Dubai-Cebu-Clark triangular route.

The daily flight is operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, with a cargo capacity of up to 20 tonnes.

“We are confident that our new service will have a positive impact on the development of tourism and trade in the Philippines’ regional economies,” said Adnan Kazim, divisional senior vice President of strategic planning, revenue optimization and aeropolitical affairs at Emirates. “Furthermore, our extensive global network of over 150 destinations will help enhance connectivity for Cebu and Clark, providing more markets for regional products and additional opportunities for inbound tourism.”

Emirates already flies 18 times a week to Manila. The airline first began flights to Clark in October 2013 but suspended the service from May 2014.

Details of the new flight are as follows.
