Emirates to add A380 at Manchester

Emirates will add a second daily A380 on its Manchester to Dubai route next month, increasing capacity by 13%.

Its EK019/020 service, currently operated by a Boeing 777, will switch to the larger aircraft, increasing premium capacity by 20%.

This means half of Emirates’ 16 daily flights to the UK will be operated by an A380.

Emirates first introduced an A380 service at Manchester in September 2010.
