Emirates has announced it will expand its global route map to include two new destinations in China.

Beginning May 2016, Emirates will serve Yinchuan (INC) and Zhengzhou (CGO) four-times weekly. The new route complements Emirates’ existing service to Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai in mainland China.

Emirates will operate its Boeing 777-200LR aircraft on the route. Configured in a three-class configuration with room for 266 passengers, the aircraft also has room for cargo. Popular cargo items to be shipped on the route include electronics, such as cell phones, cashmere, and agricultural products.

“As China’s regions continue to open up to the global economy, Emirates remains keen to support this with the further expansion of air services in mainland China,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive at Emirates

The Schedule

Flight #	Dep	Arr	Dep	Arr.	Days of Service
EK326	DXB 02:45	INC 13:35	INC 15:20	CGO 17:00	T, W, F, Sa
EK327	CGO 21:10	INC 22:55	INC 0040 (+1)	DXB 04:30	T, W, F, Sa

*all times local

Emirates is also looking at starting another daily light to Guangzhou, as well as new service to Hangzhou and Chongqing.
