Iran will welcome the Airbus A380 for the first time next week, when Emirates operates a special one-off flight to the country.
The Dubai-based carrier will fly its A380 to Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on 30 September 2014, in celebration of the recent launch of the fourth daily flight between the two cities.
The flight will depart Dubai at 1415, arriving in Tehran at 1600. The return flight will then leave the Iranian capital at 1905, arriving back in Dubai at 2150.
“Emirates began flights to Tehran… when the airline was only five years old, and now it has become the latest airport on our network to welcome our flagship A380,” said Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president of commercial operations. “We look forward to showcasing our unique on-board products to our passengers on this one-off service.”
Saeed Galandari, Imam Khomeni International Airport’s general manager welcomed the move to bring the A380 to Tehran.
“Emirates’ decision to send this aircraft to Tehran is an indication of the developing transport industry of Iran, and the good relationship between Emirates airline and the airport management. We hope this step will open a new chapter in the airline industry,” he said.
Emirates currently operates its 52 A380s to 30 destinations across the global. It has been flying to Tehran since 1990.
