Emirates launches A380 flights to Paris
30 Dec 2009
Emirates launched Airbus A380 flights to Paris from Dubai this week.
France's capital city is the seventh destination to be served by the airline's superjumbo, after Toronto, London Heathrow, Seoul, Bangkok, Sydney and Auckland.
Jeddah in Saudi Arabia will be added to this network from 1 February.
Salem Obaidalla, the carrier's senior vice-president of commercial operations in Europe, confirmed that the A380 flights would replace the morning Boeing 777 service out of Dubai.
A daily frequency will be introduced on the route from 17 January.
Mr Obaidalla added: 'The demand for Emirates' services on this route has always been extremely high and it is fitting that one of our Airbus A380s is being deployed to serve France, the headquarters of Airbus, and from where the A380 story unfolded.
'For us, the A380 has come full circle and what a wonderful way this is to end 2009.'
Emirates will further expand its presence in France this week with the introduction of daily flights to Nice.
