Emirates Airlines has announced the commencement of a new daily non-stop service connecting Dubai to Hangzhou, China, starting July 30, 2025. This strategic expansion marks Hangzhou as Emirates' fifth gateway in mainland China, joining Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

The new route will be operated using a three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, offering a weekly capacity of 2,478 seats across Business, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins.

These timings are designed to facilitate seamless connections through Dubai's hub to various destinations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized the significance of this new route in enhancing the airline's operations in East Asia. Hangzhou's reputation as a center for innovation, e-commerce, and advanced manufacturing aligns with Emirates' commitment to fostering economic and cultural ties between the Middle East and China.

Hangzhou, renowned for its UNESCO-listed West Lake and as the headquarters of major tech companies, is a prime destination for both leisure and business travelers.
