The island of Cebu is located in Visayas, one of the three main geographical divisions of the Philippines. The airport on the island, Mactan-Cebu International Airport, is the second busiest in the country. Clark, based in Pampanga, is a hub for both business and tourism. Flight EK338 will depart daily from Dubai as at 02.55, arriving at Mactan–Cebu International Airport at 15.50. The service will then depart from Cebu at 17.25 and arrive at Clark International Airport at 18.45. In the opposite direction, flights will depart Clark at 20.20, arriving at Dubai International Airport at 01.25 the following day. Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will be deployed on the route, with 42 seats in Business class and 386 in Economy. “With the opening of this service, Emirates will enhance the choice for travellers in the Philippines, who will be able to conveniently connect to 39 cities in Europe, 16 in the Middle East as well as a number of destinations across our extensive network in Africa and the Americas, including Panama from February 1,” said Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates.
