Emirates Airline will expand its Airbus A380 double decker service network to 28 destinations, with the launch of daily A380 flights to Indi...
The move comes after India lifted ban on A380 flights in Jan 2014.
Emirate A380 will offer passengers with unique facilities in all cabins - from the famous Shower Spas in First Class, to the A380 Onboard Lounge where passengers in the premium cabins can relax in a social environment during the flight, as well as 11.4 inch touch screen LED personal TVs.
Passengers across all cabins will be able to enjoy up to 1,800 channels and high-speed Wi-Fi access and mobile phone and data services.
In addition, Emirates will deploy larger Boeing 777 aircraft to Delhi and Hyderabad to serve growing demand. Delhi will have 980 additional one-way weekly seats while Hyderabad will increase its capacity to add 672 one-way weekly seats.
A combined total of 3,779 one-way weekly seats will be deployed on Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad through these aircraft upgrades.
This follows the recent bilateral discussions between the governments of Dubai and India, which provided a phased increase of 11,000 seats for Dubai carriers.
Emirates currently operates 185 flights per week to 10 destinations in India.
Emirates currently operates the largest fleet of 48 A380s in service, of which 12 were received last year.
More than 25 million passengers have travelled on the Emirates A380 since it was first launched in 2008.
