As the capital of the Emilia Romagna region, Bologna has one of the world’s largest and most well-preserved medieval historical centres and is rich in art, culture and commerce.

Located in northern Italy, Bologna is an excellent stepping off point for access to Florence, Pisa and the stunning vistas of Tuscany.

“Our new daily flight to Bologna combines not only our world-class service but also convenient access to this important Italian gateway from across our global network. As the only wide-bodied aircraft to operate from Bologna we bring to the region an unrivalled customer experience across all three cabin classes,” said Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ executive vice president and chief commercial officer Commercial Operations Worldwide.

“The gateway to Tuscany, Bologna offers inbound travellers with easy access to this vibrant tourism and commercial hub. We are confident that our new daily flight will bring economic benefit, trade and investment to the region with demand for direct links to and from the Middle East, Asia and Australasia more prevalent than ever,” Antinori noted.

Emirates’ customers travelling to and from Bologna will enjoy unrivalled comfort and amenities on board Emirates' Boeing 777-300ER which is equipped with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 of its latest lie-flat seats in Business Class, and generous space for 310 passengers in Economy Class.

Passengers from Vietnam can explore the rich heritage of Bologna via Emirates’ international hub – Dubai. After a seven-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Dubai, they will be connected seamlessly to this historical centre of Italy.

Travellers can now plan their next exciting journey to Bologna conveniently with Emirates’ daily, non-stop flights.
