Emirates has made the announcement that they are reducing their fares to 20 destinations in Europe, the Far East, the Gulf, and the Middle East. The lower priced fares will be effective for over 30 flights to European, Far Eastern, and Middle Eastern destinations, which include China, London Gatwick, Jakarta, Dhaka, and Manila, according to a statement from Emirates. The move by the airline comes after the recent drop in the price of oil.

Adnan Kazim, the Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations in the Gulf, Iran, and the Middle East for Emirates, said that they are happy to have the chance to revise their fares with the latest reducing of the price of fuel. Even though the price of fuel has gradually fallen in recent weeks, the cost is still about 60% more than the average it was last year, he continued. However, he added that the high prices on fuel are still a major challenge for the carrier, and they are monitoring the issue closely.

The fares for Emirates from Dubai to Amman, Damascus, Beirut, and Cairo are going to decrease by 4%. Middle Eastern travelers will see lower fares for flights with Emirates to points throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council as well. The Gulf Cooperation Council includes the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The carrier is currently operating flights for 101 cities over 6 continents. In the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Middle East, their network covers more than 200 flights every week for 15 cities.
