Emirates’ Munich A380 service to arrive early

Thursday, 20 October 2011 00:43 -     - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Emirates is bringing forward its first daily A380 service to Germany by serving Munich from 25 November, nearly five weeks earlier than expected.



The double decker was originally set to replace EK 49, one of two daily services to Munich, from 1 January 2012. Under a revised schedule, passengers will be able to enjoy the flagship of the Emirates’ fleet from 25 November.

The airline’s Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Europe and Russian Federation Salem Obaidalla said, “Emirates is the first foreign carrier to bring the A380 back to Germany. After further reviewing our forthcoming A380 deliveries and expected demand, we have decided to bring forward its deployment to Munich by more than a month, which is excellent news for one of our most important markets.”   

EK 49 departs Dubai at 0910hrs and gets into Munich at 1245hrs. Last month, Emirates took one of its A380s to Hamburg on a special commercial flight as part of the airport’s 100th anniversary celebrations. With its trademark Onboard Shower Spas and Onboard Lounge, the Emirates’ A380 continues to draw attention around the world.   

No other airline has purchased as many A380s as Emirates, investment which supports at least 40,000 direct and indirect German jobs. All Emirates’ A380s have their finishing work carried out in Hamburg before being handed over.

Since 1 September, Emirates has gone from one to two flights per day to Hamburg, taking to 56 its total number of weekly passenger flights to Germany.  In Frankfurt, the current double daily service will be enhanced with an extra four flights per week as of 30 October, becoming a triple daily operation from 1 December.  The new EK 43, served with an A330-200 aircraft, departs Dubai at 0320hrs and arrives in Frankfurt at 0735hrs. EK 44 leaves Frankfurt at 0940hrs and gets into Dubai at 1900hrs.    Emirates SkyCargo has 11 weekly freighter flights to Germany – further bolstering the multi-billion US dollar trade relationship between Germany and the UAE.
