Under the terms of a new deal signed between Emirates Airlines and Virgin America, passengers flying from Dubai to Los Angeles can book connecting flights on Virgin America to six cities in the US and Canada, and nine cities for Emirates passengers flying into San Francisco.
"Our new agreement with Virgin America will bring our American West Coast gateways within easier reach of dozens of US cities, making travel more convenient for customers travelling to or from the Middle East and beyond," said Nigel Page, the senior vice president of commercial operations for Americas and Africa for the Dubai airline, the world's largest by international capacity.
