Emirates launched three new A380 destinations, bringing its flagship three-class double-decker aircraft from Dubai to Tokyo-Narita, Casablanca and Sao Paulo on the same day.
With this triple deployment, Emirates is the first airline to operate scheduled A380 services in Latin America as well as to North Africa. In addition, the Emirates A380 service to Sao Paulo marks the airline’s 10th year of operations in Brazil, which began with daily flights between Dubai and Sao Paulo in October 2007.
Emirates had previously served Narita with an A380. The reintroduction of this service and increase in capacity is in response to the healthy demand for travel between Japan and Dubai.
Emirates now flies the A380 to 49 destinations on six continents. The A380 aircraft can transport up to 515 passengers per flight, and eight tonnes of cargo.
