Gatwick Airport will get its first Airbus A380 service this year thanks to Emirates.
A 489-seat A380 will increase capacity to Dubai by 36% when it is introduced on 30 March 2014, used on one of three daily flights.
“London Gatwick was our first destination in the UK when we launched our services to the airport in 1987. It continues to be a strategic gateway not only into London but also into the regions of the Southeast and we are pleased to be the first airline to introduce a daily scheduled A380 service to the airport,” said Thierry Antinori, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Emirates Airline.
“Our long term strategic partnership with London Gatwick enables us to bring our flagship A380 on a regularly scheduled basis and build on our robust presence at the airport. Our support for London Gatwick’s long-term growth plans is aligned with our global strategy to optimise capacity on our major routes and to offer our passengers with ever more opportunities to fly on our A380s,” he added.
The two-decked aircraft will offer 399 economy seats, 76 lie-flat sears in business and 14 First Class Private Suites.
