Emirates' superjumbo flights go triple daily
Posted 16/11/2011
Emirates will operate a superjumbo service from London Heathrow three times a day from the New Year.
Three out of the airline’s five daily flights from Heathrow will be served by the A380, starting on January 24.
Emirates’ flagship aircraft will replace Boeing 777s on EK flight 030 to Dubai and on the return flight EK 029, adding capacity to one of the airline’s busiest routes.
“Given the popularity of Emirates’ A380s, I know this news will be well received by our customers flying between London Heathrow, Dubai and beyond. As these magnificent aircraft continue to join our fleet, we can offer more seats and choice in and out of high density points, while enabling a greater number of passengers to benefit from the Emirates’ A380 experience,” said senior vice president, commercial operations, Europe Salem Obaidalla.
The airline has been flying the double deck aircraft, complete with shower spas and an onboard lounge, to London since December 2008.
