Emirates is launching a new direct route connecting Bogotá and Miami with its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The aircraft has 354 seats across three cabins, including First Class and Business Class with lie-flat seats. Emirates' customers will enjoy complimentary food and beverages and a generous free baggage allowance. The airline will offer up to 6,500 channels of entertainment content, including Spanish-language TV shows, movies, music, podcasts, games, and audiobooks, with its award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice.
The new services will offer up to 20 tonnes of cargo capacity on each flight, opening up global markets for Colombian exports, particularly perishable goods such as fresh flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
The launch of the new route is expected to strengthen trade, investment, and tourism between Colombia and the U.S. Emirates' flights will provide convenient inbound connections to Bogotá through Dubai from 78 destinations in its extensive network, generating new passenger flows to Bogotá from high-growth markets such as the UAE, India, China, the broader Middle East, Far East, and Australasia.
Bogotá is known as the "Athens of South America" and is a major center for tourism, education, and culture. It is also a thriving hub for finance and has become a MICE destination due to its central location in the Americas.
Emirates' direct flights will make it easier for Colombian travelers to reach Florida, with Visit Florida's CEO, Dana Young, saying that "airlift expansion is crucial to increasing visitation and the economic impact tourism has on the state of Florida."
The Bogotá-Dubai flights are expected to be popular with travelers heading to Dubai, mainland China, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Johannesburg, Cairo, and Delhi. Emirates' flights are conveniently timed to provide seamless connectivity for travellers continuing their journey from Dubai.
