Emirates has launched its A380 service to London Gatwick.
Emirates was the first carrier to operate an all-A380 service out of Heathrow and is now the first to lead the service out of Gatwick – the same airport from which Emirates flew its inaugural UK flight 26 years ago.
Hubert Frach, an Emirates senior vice president, said: "Six years after launch the Emirates A380 is still a customer magnet."
The daily A380 service will replace the existing afternoon Boeing 777-300ER flight EK 009.
Emirates has just received its 46th and 47th A380 aircraft.
