Emirates adds second daily A380 flight to Melbourne
Emirates has announced a second daily flight on its Melbourne route, served by its flagship A380 aircraft.
Starting 1 May, the airline will offer fourteen weekly services from Dubai to Melbourne.
The additional daily frequency between Dubai and Melbourne will grow Emirates’ seats to over 1,000 a day between the Dubai hub and Victoria, with 516 seats on each flight.
Travellers can choose from 14 First Class suites, 76 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 426 seats in Economy Class.
A second daily A380 service will also offer customers more convenience with the option of choosing a morning or evening flight.
Before the pandemic, international flights brought more than 3.1 million visitors to Victoria each year, injecting $8.8 billion into the economy.
Emirates carried 22% per cent of the 1.3 million passengers that arrived in Victoria from key European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Barry Brown, Emirates Divisional Vice President for Australasia said: “We are especially delighted to boost our services to Melbourne, adding yet more seats and flight options to the Victorian capital. Our second daily A380 service reaffirms our ongoing commitment to Australia.”
Australia is the third-largest destination for Emirates’ A380 operations.
