Emirates to add third A380 from Gatwick
Emirates will fly a third A380 into London Gatwick next year.
It means all of its eight daily flights to London will be served by the A380 from January 1 2016.
The third A380 into Gatwick will replace Emirates flights EK011/EK012.
Alongside its double daily A380 services to Manchester, Emirates will offer 70 A380 flights per week into the UK, more than any other country on its network.
"In the last five years we have increased capacity into London by over 25 percent. This demonstrates the attractiveness of the A380 with its ability to serve customer demand at slot-constrained points without the need for adding another frequency," said Hubert Frach, Emirates divisional senior vice president, commercial operations West.
