Emirates recently launched A380 services to Amsterdam. The double-decker aircraft will operate as EK 0147, departing from Dubai to Amsterdam daily, and will become Emirates’ 19th A380 destination. Emirates said it had become the first carrier to offer a scheduled A380 service to the Netherlands, after just two years since its first flight to Amsterdam, as per a report by Arab News.
“Emirates is responding to strong demand by bringing its flagship aircraft to one of Europe's most important trading and logistics hubs, adding much-needed seat capacity — more than 2,000 seats a week — which will stimulate further tourism and trade between the Netherlands, UAE and beyond. The A380 is central to the Emirates strategy. Our orders represent a sizable chunk of the total programme worldwide and Emirates has played a key role in the design and performance characteristics of the aircraft, which have become our signature markers in the industry,” said Thierry Antinori, EVP, Passenger Sales Worldwide, Emirates. “We are seamlessly connecting passengers to our extensive route network which includes ten Indian cities, 21 African destinations, and key points across the Far East and Australia. Emirates is also enabling customers to continue their A380 experience via our hub in Dubai to popular destinations like Sydney, Bangkok and Hong Kong,” he added. Emirates has carried more than ten million passengers since the double-decker was introduced to its fleet in August 2008.
