Too many of the world's children suffer the effects of war, poverty, sickness, discrimination or abuse. Say Yes for Children is a global campaign that will penetrate into every part of the world, to mobilize people from all walks of life around the issues that affect children's lives. Please take a minute to SAY YES right now. Two days later, on March 27, Emirates opens a third gateway in Germany with the start-up of daily services between Dubai and Dusseldorf, a manufacturing, financial, and transportation centre at the heart of European markets. This will allow us to further strengthen already well-established ties among the countries of the Middle East and North Africa.
Emirates already flies to Egypt, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa.
In addition, the aircraft offers capacity for around nine tonnes of cargo with a full passenger load. Flights to Malta, a convenient stepping stone to Tripoli, were previously routed via Athens. Beirut, previously linked with Larnaca, will have direct, non-stop services from March 25 every day except Thursdays when flights will be routed via Abu Dhabi. Libya, rich in oil and gas reserves, is expected to become a major business destination, but the country also holds great potential for leisure travel with 2,000 miles of beaches and a wealth of archaeological treasures. Emirates SkyCargo expects that the main imports into Tripoli will be oil field equipment from Europe, electronic goods from the Far East including Japan and garments from the Middle East and the Subcontinent.
