Emirates upgrades Auckland services with A380

Emirates Airline plans to operate its daily nonstop Dubai-Auckland services with an Airbus A380-800 from Oct 30, less than a year after switching from a Boeing 777-200LR. Separately, Emirates took delivery of its 80th A380 June 22. Emirates will exchange one of its double-daily Vienna-Dubai 777-300ER services with an A380 from July 1. Vienna has become Emirates’ 41st A380 destination, which will be operated by a 519-seat aircraft. In April, Emirates placed a new order for 2 additional A380s, to be delivered in Q4 of 2017, bringing its order book for the aircraft to 64. Emirates president Tim Clark said that by the end of June, it will have 81 A380s in service and 100 A380s by June 1, 2017. <br/>
