Emirates to launch second A380 to Birmingham

Dubai: Emirates airline announced on Monday it will be introducing a second daily A380 service between Dubai and Birmingham starting from October 29, 2017.

Currently operated by a Boeing 777, the service will be operated by the Emirates A380, adding to the existing daily A380 already operating on that route. In a statement, the airline said its decision to use a double-daily A380 service was partly driven by strong passenger demand.

The aircraft will operate in a two-class configuration with 58 Business Class seats, and 557 Economy Class seats.
