Emirates to deploy A380 to Guangzhou

DUBAI: Emirates said on Tuesday it would start daily Airbus A380 services to Guangzhou in southern China on October in response to increasing demand for travel and trade.

The three-class, 491-seat A380 service will replace a two-class Boeing 777-300ER and add 15 per cent to capacity on the daily Dubai-Guangzhou flight, the airline said in a statement.

The A380 deployment follows recent announcements that the airline would fly the superjumbo to Milan and Johannesburg.
