Emirates’ super jumbo ETA Paris: One month early
DUBAI – Emirates has just given passengers an added incentive to bypass London and avoid the UK’s plans for steep rises in its Airline Passenger Duty “green†tax next year.
From December 29, a month ahead of schedule, Emirates will serve Paris with an A380 super-jumbo.
An operational review, coupled with demand on the route, has led to an earlier introduction of the aircraft, said an Emirates spokesman.
The 489-seat aircraft will be incorporated into Emirates’ double daily flights to Paris. It will initially service three of the morning departures from Dubai, becoming daily from January 17, 2010.
Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ senior vice president, commercial operations, Europe & Russian Federation, said, “Our forward carryings out of France are extremely strong.
“Coupled with the earlier aircraft availability on that route, it means we can provide passengers with the experience of flying this highly popular aircraft between Dubai and Paris much sooner than originally anticipated.
“It also provides our passengers with an earlier A380 service all the way through to Sydney, Auckland, Bangkok and, soon, Seoul.”
