Emirates to fly A380 to Birmingham Airport
Emirates will use the Airbus A380 to operate a single flight to Birmingham Airport from Dubai in September, it has been announced.
The carrier, which currently uses the superjumbo to fly to Heathrow Airport, will offer the special flight on September 9th as part of Birmingham Airport's 70th anniversary celebrations.
Operating as one of Emirates' two daily flights from Dubai to Birmingham, the A380 service will provide a fitting way to celebrate the milestone in the airport's history, said Tim Clark, president of the airline.
Joe Kelly, deputy chief executive officer of Birmingham Airport, said: "Our 70th anniversary is a fantastic milestone for the airport and we are delighted that Emirates is helping us celebrate our birthday with the A380.
"Additionally, this is the first commercial flight of an A380 outside of London Heathrow in the UK."
Emirates also uses the Airbus A380 to offer flights to Sydney, Auckland, Bangkok and Toronto from its base in the United Arab Emirates.
