EK reduced LHE frequency?

[baberblues]

I have been noticing recently that EK served LHE 2X daily in the winter season however its now dropped to 1x daily arriving around 1am and departing around 3am. Does anyone know if this is a temporary thing? Also how many flights does EK have into LHE daily? is it just once daily or more?

Appreciate the help

I thought they served Lahore ten or eleven times a week, so twice a day only on some days.

Semi relevant, but why do they serve Karachi much more than Lahore or Islamabad? That much more traffic? More access?

Probably due to open skies policy for flights between Karachi and Dubai.

They should really increase frequency for LHE and ISB, the demand is there surely for a double daily service.

Emirates Dubai to Lahore flight EK-624 not flying daily. Four flights operated during last six days. Boeing 777-300ER used for recent flights.

So, in last six days Emirates operated ten flights from Dubai to Lahore.

Right now Emirates flies 11 weekly flights from Dubai to Lahore. Ek622 flies daily and Ek624 on fri,sat,mon and wed....I have heard somwhere that EK wants double daily from Lahore as well as from isb and approval is pending from Pakistan Authorities.

Reduced EK means Increased opportunity for PIA, SHAHEEN & AIRBLUE

I hope to see EK 5 times in Lahore like Karachi. Why can Karachi get 5 flights and Lahore can't? surely most of the Pakistani's abroad are mainly from Punjab, therefore it makes sense to fly in/out of Lahore more often.

Think its cause KHI as open skies so emirates isnt really limited on frequencies at KHI but is at LHE and ISB? not sure about SKT however LHE and ISB are definately gold mines for EK. Atleast 3 daily services could even fit demand being realistic

I think EK actually flies six times a day to Karachi.

Dear All,
Ek actually flies 6 times in and out of Karachi and waiting for the approvals from relevant authorities to starts double rotations from lhe and isb as well as daily from PEW.
