Emirates double-decker A380 touched down in Los Angeles, marking the world’s longest A380 service in operation. The flight crossing the Russian Federation, North Pole and Eastern Canada, has a published duration of 16 hours 20 minutes.
“Bringing the A380 to the City of Angels seemed like a natural fit as this aircraft mirrors the luxury of Hollywood lifestyle,” said Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, Commercial Operations West.
The airline started flying to Los Angeles in 2008 with a Boeing 777-200LR. The introduction of the 489-seat A380 service is a direct response to demand with over one million passengers traveling between Los Angeles and Dubai so far.
Emirates 23rd A380 service will operate daily as EK 215 departing Dubai at 0820hrs and arriving at Los Angeles International Airport at 1250hrs the same day. The return flight, EK 216, departs Los Angeles at 1600hrs and arrives in Dubai at 1950hrs the following day.
The double decker offers 14 First Class suites, 76 Business Class and 399 in Economy Class. The third JFK flight, operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, has a stop in Milan before continuing to New York. A daily service from Dubai to Boston will start 10 March 2014.
