Emirates ramps up A380 deployment on UK routes after air corridor boosts travel

Emirates will operate its A380 jumbo-jet four times a day to London Heathrow from November 27 and six times a week to Manchester from December 2. The airline will also deploy additional A380 services to Moscow from the current two-a-week to a daily service from November 25. The Dubai-based airline will also increase flights to Birmingham and Glasgow from the current four-a-week to daily services at both cities, from November 27 and December 1 respectively. Emirates’ services to Manchester will increase from the current eight-a-week to 10 flights per week from December 1, of which six will be served by an Emirates A380 and four with a Boeing 777-300ER. At London Heathrow, Emirates’ current twice daily A380 and once daily Boeing 777 flights will become four daily A380 services from November 27. “These represent a significant expansion of Emirates services to the UK, following the recent establishment of the UK-UAE air travel corridor which has led to increased demand,” said the airline.<br/>
