Emirates is set to add another Airbus A380 to its Dubai - Heathrow route from July 1. In addition to the daily EK001 from Dubai (EK002 from Heathrow), an A380 will also be deployed on EK003 and EK004.
The airline first brought the double-decker plane, equipped with an onboard lounge and shower spas, to Heathrow in December 2008. The London airport was one of the key airports the carrier had in mind when the A380 was ordered, Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Senior Vice-President of Commercial Operations for Europe, said in a statement, adding: ‘The new deployment allows more passengers travelling to and from London to experience this remarkable aircraft.'
Emirates is now operating eight A380s.In addition to Heathrow, the airline flies to Toronto, Paris, Jeddah, Bangkok, Seoul, Sydney and Auckland. It operates 98 non-stop flights weekly to the UK. As well as five flights a day to Heathrow, it operates daily services to Newcastle and Glasgow, a double daily to Manchester and Birmingham and three flights a day to Gatwick.
