Emirates A380 network to expand to Frankfurt

Dubai: Emirates said on Tuesday that Frankfurt, Germany, will be the next destination slated for its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft, with the daily A380 service starting on September 1.

Frankfurt is currently served with a triple daily Boeing 777 operation. With 48 A380s in its fleet, Emirates is the largest operator globally of the superjumbo.

Emirates is also the largest A380 purchaser, with 92 pending delivery – a share of the A380 programme which alone is estimated to support approximately 12,000 direct German jobs, the airline stated.
