Emirates to grow services to Milan with introduction of A380
View(s):Emirates will increase its services to and from Milan with the upgrade of one of its daily Boeing 777-300 services to an A380 from 1st December.
This will be the first ever permanently scheduled A380 service to Milan Malpensa Airport.
Bringing the A380 onto one of Emirates’ three daily Milan services will mean an increase in capacity of almost 38 per cent, the airline said. The triple-daily service connecting Dubai to Milan is currently operated with a mix of Boeing 777-300 and 777-300ER aircraft. One of these services continues onward to New York.
Thierry Antinori, Emirates’ Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer said: “Introducing the Emirates flagship A380 service underscores our commitment to further developing the economic and tourism potential of Italy’s regions and cities. We continue to support the Lombardy region as well as the Italian economy primarily by bringing in tourists and business travellers from both mature and emerging markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia”.
