Emirates, a Dubai-based company, will transition all of its flights to Sydney to the A380.
Emirates can commit to around 2,000 additional weekly seats with the upgrade to its double-decker aircraft on its third daily route, beginning 4 November 2023, despite the fact that all three of the airline's slots at Sydney Airport are now in use.
A three-class Emirates A380 service with 489 seats will take the place of the Boeing 777-300ER currently operating on EK 416 and 417. More than 260 additional seats per day are added to each return flight, increasing the number of connections between Dubai and other popular destinations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The third Sydney A380 four-class trip will supplement the existing two aircraft, both of which feature the most recent Premium Economy cabin from Emirates.
Emirates presently offers around 56,000 seats to and from its four main gateways on 63 weekly routes to Australia. The airline flies three times daily between Melbourne and Sydney, twice daily between Brisbane, and daily between Perth and its flagship A380.
In addition to linking Sydney and Christchurch, Emirates has also resumed service from Melbourne to Singapore, giving passengers the sole Trans-Tasman A380 experience.
Return to Adelaide
By allowing the airline's fleet to increase and freeing up more of its long-range aircraft to serve locations like Adelaide, the debut of the Emirates Airbus A350 in the summer of 2024 will facilitate further expansion of the airline's worldwide network. As part of its commitment to reuniting travellers from every region of Australia with its network, the airline is in close contact with Adelaide Airport regarding the restart of nonstop services.
Around 2130 hours, the third Sydney A380 flight will leave Dubai and land in Sydney at 1820 hours local time. The return flight takes out from Sydney at 21:10 and lands in Dubai at 04:30 local time.
To fulfil the steadily rising demand for travel around the world, Emirates keeps boosting the deployment of its flagship A380. The airline already serves over 50 cities with its flagship A380, and more cities are expected to receive the aircraft in the upcoming months. | By November, Emirates will operate an A380 flight from Sydney to Adelaide.
