12 June 2007 Airline launches world's first 'water limousine transfer'
Emirates has announced that it is to launch the first water limousine airport transfer service to its passengers heading to Venice.
Starting on July 1st to mark the firm's first non-stop service to the city from Dubai, first and business class passengers arriving and leaving Venice will have access to the Emirates' Water Limousine.
The service aims to help holidaymakers avoid the busy roads and head from the airport on the Italian mainland to their hotels on the Venetian archipelago in a single journey.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, executive vice-president of commercial operations worldwide at the firm, said: "We have been excited about the water limousine service since first discussing the possibility some time ago and now the arrangements are in place for a superb premium traveller logistical treat."
He added that he expects the service to be well-received by holidaymakers as a relaxing way to start or end their trip.
Last month, Emirates announced that its holidays subsidiary had won the award for the top tour operator in the middle east at the annual Travel Awards Middle East & Africa.
