Emirates booking start rolling in for A380 flights
Published: 20/05/08
Emirates Airlines are eagerly awaiting the arrival of its first A380 which is due to arrive in August this year. The A380 will be flying Emirates flights to New York and bookings for the route have already started coming in.
The Dubai based airlines first booking for the new aircraft are for the Dubai to New York route, although it has not been confirmed if this route will be the Emirates A380’s maiden flight.
Economy class tickets for the A380 flights to New York have been selling at Dh5,260 and Business class are roughly priced around Dh15,000 and Dh25,000 for a first class ticket. Emirates currently operate three daily flights from Dubai to New York.
Emirates have kept very quiet about which routes the new A380 will operate, but analysts have predicted that JFK, London Heathrow and Sydney would be natural choices due to the increased passenger demand on those routes. Emirates now have 57 A380’s on order.
