Emirates is introducing the first Airbus A380 service to Hamburg. The service, which kicks off on October 29, will begin with the morning service (EK059/EK060); from October 30, the A380 will be regularly deployed in the afternoon (EK061/EK062).
With the addition of the double decker aircraft, the route’s capacity has increased by more than 22 per cent.
“We are excited to finally bring our Airbus flagship ‘home’ and see Hamburg join the other 48 destinations we currently serve with the A380…The switch to the A380 offers a total of 1,120 additional seats per week in each direction, meeting a growing demand from travellers on the route and demonstrating our commitment to Hamburg,” said Volker Greiner, Emirates Vice President North and Central Europe.
Hamburg becomes the 49th destination on Emirates’ global network to be served by the A380 aircraft.
