Emirates adds two new A380 routes

Emirates Airline started the world’s first A380 commercial services to Bangkok and Toronto on June 1. The launch of Emirates’ A380 operations – daily flights from Dubai to Bangkok and thrice weekly flights to Toronto – signals a new era of luxury air travel to Thailand and Canada, and represents yet another milestone in the airline’s A380 programme.

The Airbus A380 “superjumbo” 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 today, offering better fuel economy than most hybrid passenger cars. The A380 is also quieter - both inside and outside of the cabin - generating less than half the noise of other aircraft on take off.

Emirates has orders for 58 Airbus A380-800 aircraft and was the second airline to receive the aircraft, after Singapore Airlines. The airline currently uses their A380 fleet on flights to Auckland, Sydney, and London Heathrow.
