With Eid Al Fitr approaching and more people set to travel, Emirates is stepping up its schedule by adding 22 flights and layering on additional seats.

The airline will deploy A380s and Boeing 777s between April 28 and May 8 to the four cities it serves in KSA, as well as to Kuwait, Beirut and Amman.

In Saudi Arabia, Emirates will add two additional flights on May 2 and 8 to serve demand in and out of Riyadh. In Jeddah, the airline will add five flights served by its Boeing 777 and will upgrade one of its existing flights to an A380, to become an all A380 operation.

Medina will also be served with four additional flights during this time, and travellers from Dammam will also have the option of one extra flight on April 28.
