Emirates’ A380 comes full circle and heads to France
The French capital is the latest destination to be served by the Emirates‘ much admired super-jumbo – after Toronto, London Heathrow, Seoul, Bangkok, Sydney, Auckland, and Jeddah from February 1.
France became part of the airline’s European network in 1992. Nineteen weekly passengers flights into the country are made up of a double daily service from Dubai to Paris and daily flights into Nice.
Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Europe & the Russian Federation, said: “The superjumbo will gradually replace the morning 777 service out of Dubai, becoming daily from 17th January. The demand for Emirates’ services on this route has always been extremely high and it is fitting that one of our Airbus A380s is being deployed to serve France, the headquarters of Airbus, and from where the A380 story unfolded. For us, the A380 has come full circle and what a wonderful way this is to end 2009.”
