Emirates has confirmed that it will reintroduce
its flagship A380 to Perth as part of the airline’s ramp up of
services to Australia.
The upgauge, effective from 1 December, will
increase Emirates’ seating capacity between its hub Dubai and
Perth, with close to 500 seats available on each flight.
The
daily A380 service will replace the existing daily Boeing 777-300ER operation between Dubai and Perth.

EK420 from Dubai is scheduled to depart at 02:45, arriving in
Perth at 17:20 the same day while flight EK421 is timed to depart from
Perth at 22:20, arriving in Dubai at 05:25 the following day.
Since its inaugural flight to Perth back in August
2002, Emirates has flown close to 6 million passengers between
the city and its Dubai hub, travelling more than 220 million kilometres on over 24,000 flights.
The airline’s cargo arm, Emirates SkyCargo, has
also been an important contributor to the local economy, exporting
meat, fruit and vegetables and mining equipment across the
airline’s global route network including the Middle East, Europe
and beyond.
In addition to its Perth services, Emirates also
operates twice daily A380 services from Dubai to Melbourne and
Sydney, and a daily service from Dubai to Brisbane.
