UK travellers planning to catch flights to Dubai next year will have more opportunities to travel on the Airbus A380 with Emirates.
Shortly after announcing that it will deploy the world's largest passenger plane on a third daily service from London Heathrow to Dubai from 24 January 2012, the carrier has confirmed that a fourth A380 connection will be available on the route from 25 March.
In both cases, the Airbus plane will replace the Boeing 777 in order to carry more passengers from the UK airport, where airline expansion is limited by capacity constraints.
The move will make Emirates the largest operator of the A380 at Heathrow.
Salem Obaidalla, the Middle Eastern carrier's senior vice president of commercial operations in Europe, said: 'This demonstrates the beauty of the A380 - its ability to increase our service to our passengers in style and without adding traffic to London Heathrow's busy schedule.'
Emirates will also be expanding its presence in Dublin next year with the launch of a new daily service to Dubai from the city on 9 January.
