Emirates launches second daily Airbus A380 service to Gatwick Airport

Dubai: Emirates has launched a second daily A380 service to London Gatwick Airport, the airline announced in a statement on Wednesday.

Due to passenger demand, Emirates has decided to upgrade its EK15/16 route that was previously operated by a Boeing 777. The A380 will add a total of 318 seats per day increasing capacity in all three classes by 11.5 per cent. More than 330,000 customers have already flown with the A380 to and from London Gatwick since the aircraft was first deployed in March 2014.
