First scheduled superjumbo service for Kuala Lumpur

Emirates Airline continues to expand its list of Airbus A380 destinations, with Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, set to welcome the superjumbo on December 1.

In what will be the first scheduled A380 service to Malaysia by any airline, Emirates’ flagship aircraft will operate as EK346 departing Dubai at 4.05 a.m. and arriving in Kuala Lumpur at 2.55 p.m. the same day. The return leg, EK347, will depart Kuala Lumpur at 7.30 p.m. arriving in Dubai at 10.30 p.m.

Emirates’ partnership with Malaysia began in October 1996 when the airline launched its services to Kuala Lumpur via Dhaka.

By 2006, the airline connected Dubai and Kuala Lumpur non-stop and today operates 21 non-stop flights a week between these two cities.

Emirates operates flights on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus.
