Emirates reintroducing direct A380 services to Auckland, Kuala Lumpur

Monday, 25 Aug, 2022 0

Emirates will restore its non-stop A380 services to and from Auckland and Kuala Lumpur, starting from 1 December. 

The airline currently operates to both cities with a linked Boeing 777-300ER service, which touches down in Kuala Lumpur before continuing on to Auckland.

The start of A380 flights will see both cities delinked and served with direct services to and from Dubai.

The new services will offer reduced transit times after the delinking of services, and faster connections to and from Europe, the Middle East, South Asia as well as Africa.

The non-stop services between Dubai and Auckland will also reclaim its title as the longest route on the Emirates network, clocking in 14,200 km, in addition to being one of the world’s longest non-stop scheduled commercial flights.

New Zealand is ramping up its visibility with a global campaign in key markets to encourage more visitors.

To promote Malaysia as a travel destination, Emirates recently signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with the Malaysia Tourism Board to develop inbound visitor traffic into the country from key markets across the airline’s network.

The airline operates its flagship A380 aircraft to 32 with more to be announced in the coming weeks and months.
