Emirates expands global network with introduction of three new destinations in Asia

Dubai: Emirates is set to further strengthen its presence across Asia with the launch of daily non-stop flights between Dubai and Shenzhen from 1 July 2025. The airline will also introduce four weekly services to Da Nang on 2 June and three weekly flights to Siem Reap from 3 June with both cities connecting via Bangkok.

The addition of Shenzhen, Da Nang and Siem Reap, Emirates now offers 269 flights per week from Dubai to 24 points. This latest expansion also marks Emirates’ fourth gateway into the Chinese mainland, third destination in Vietnam and second point in Cambodia.

Emirates became the first airline to establish direct air connectivity between the Middle East and the Chinese mainland in 2002 with the start of services between Dubai and Shanghai. This marked the beginning of a successful two-decade partnership that has been underpinned by close bilateral ties between the UAE and China through operations in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

With its passenger and freighter operations, Emirates facilitates the transport of 2,000 tonnes of cargo each week from the Chinese mainland. 

Emirates’ four weekly services to Da Nang via Bangkok make it the airline’s third gateway into Vietnam, after Hanoi and Ho Chih Minh City. Flights to Da Nang will operate with the Emirates Boeing 777 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The airline’s three weekly services to Siem Reap will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Travellers planning their journeys to Shenzhen, Da Nang, Siem Reap or Bangkok via Emirates’ existing gateways can take advantage of the airline’s partnerships which include 24 codeshares and interlines that offer access to an exceptional range of seamlessly integrated multi-city journeys.
