Emirates will launch a daily Airbus A380 service to Nice, France, the airline said in a statement on Thursday.

The service, starting on July 1, 2017, will make Emirates the first airline to operate a superjumbo A380 route to Nice Cote d’Azur International. Switching from a Boeing 777-300ER to an A380 will result in a 44 per cent increase in capacity on the route, the airline stated. Emirates will also offer helicopter transfers between Nice International and Monaco, to increase accessibility.
