Friday, 5 June 2009
Emirates scored a double whammy as two of its A380 super jumbos jetted off from Dubai to Bangkok and Toronto, said a press release.
The launch of Emirates' A380 operations, daily to Bangkok and thrice weekly to Toronto is a sign of luxury air travel.
EK 372 took off from Emirates' new home, Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport at 09:40 hours carrying 488 passengers and landed in Bangkok Suvarnabhurni International Airport at 19:00 hours.
EK 241 departed Dubai with 458 passengers and will be the first commercial A380 jet to touch down on Canadian soil at 15:45 hours.
The A380 is the world's only twin-deck airliner that has 35 per cent more seats than its closest rival. It is the most environmentally-advanced commercial aircraft in the sky.
President of Emirates Airline Tim Clark said, "Emirates is delighted to celebrate its Inaugural A380 services to Thailand and Canada. The aircraft with its large capacity and excellent operating economics is a pillar of growth, both for the airline and the destination".
