Dubai: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Wednesday welcomed the start of Emirates Airbus A380 superjumbo daily service to Dubai. The arriving Emirates A380 aircraft was met with a traditional DFW Airport “shower of affection” water cannon salute from the Airport’s Department of Public Safety, as well as local dignitaries.
Emirates became the first airline to offer a direct service from DFW to the Middle East in 2012. The transition from Boeing 777-200 aircraft to the double-decker Airbus A380-800 means that Emirates is increasing its capacity on the DFW to Dubai route by over 80 per cent. The flight connects two of the world’s most highly regarded airports, DFW and Dubai (DXB) International Airport, each of which offer customers a great number of connection options and outstanding customer service on either end of the route.
