Emirates will launch daily flights from Dubai to Panama City on February 1.
The new service will be the longest non-stop flight in the world – 17 hours 35 minutes in the Westbound direction.
It will also be Emirates’ first gateway destination in Central America.
The airline will operate the route with a Boeing 777-200LR aircraft in a three-class layout.
Emirates flight EK251 will depart Dubai at 08:05 and arrive in Panama City at 16:40.
The return flight EK252 will leave Panama City at 22:10, arriving in Dubai at 22:55 the next day.
Tickets are now on sale.
Later this year, Emirates will add four routes to its global network – Mashhad, Iran and Orlando in September, Bamako, Mali, in October, and Bologna in November.
