The Arab air carrier will schedule two more additional flights every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, said Bahar Ahmet Birinci, Emirates regional director for Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.

Birinci said the Dubai-Istanbul was the most lucrative route among European destinations with a 87 percent occupancy rate.

"We are targeting to carry 90 thousand people on this route and a 27 million euro turnover," Birinci said.
