Emirates launches daily Dubai-Sydney-Auckland service

Emirates are now operating a daily A380 service from Dubai to Sydney and onto Auckland, the airline said last Friday.

The Dubai-Sydney-Auckland A380 service was first introduced by Emirates in February this year and was only a thrice-weekly service.

The carrier said the move to a daily service was a demonstration of its commitment to the Australian market, with increased capacity and offering more opportunities for Australian travellers to fly in an A380 aircraft.

“Emirates made a commitment to increased services to the Australian community some years ago and while we have promised big things for this market we have also delivered, even in the present economic times” said Stephen Pearse, Emirates’ Vice President Australia.

Pearse added that the airline remained committed to providing a third daily service for Sydney from 1 December this year.

Bangkok and Toronto will be included in the Emirates A380 route network from 1 June 2009, all flights to be serviced from Emirates’ central hub in Dubai.
