Emirates (Dubai) today announced that it will launch a new daily service to Brussels, Belgium, from September 5, 2014.

Brussels will be Emirates’ 147th destination, closely following the launch of Oslo, Norway on September 2. The nonstop service will be operated by a Boeing 777 in a three-class configuration. Emirates will be the first international airline to offer a First Class product from Brussels to the Middle East and Asia.

The UAE is home to over 30 Belgian companies and over 3,000 Belgian residents. Emirates currently has over 160 Belgian nationals working in various roles across the company.

Brussels will be the eighth new destination from Emirates this calendar year following the earlier launches of Kiev, Taipei and Boston as well as Abuja and Kano launching on August 1, Chicago launching on August 5 and Oslo launching on September 2, 2014.
