Melbourne A380 Flights Back On

The A380 aircraft is also operating daily flights to Melbourne, having been upgraded recently from the Boeing 777-300ER, on 1 February. The upgrade to the double-decker aircraft allows 50% additional capacity to serve anticipated demand arising from the re-opening of Australia’s international borders. Australia has long been a popular destination for leisure travellers and those visiting family and friends, mainly from Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany, in addition to India, Pakistan, South Africa and United Arab Emirates, amongst others.

In addition to the capitals of New South Wales and Victoria, served by the iconic A380 aircraft, Emirates also provides passenger services to Brisbane with five weekly flights as well as three flights per week to Perth, both with the airline’s other wide-body aircraft in its fleet, the Boeing 777-300ER.

Customers of Emirates and Qantas have access to an expansive network of destinations thanks to the codeshare partnership between the two airlines. In addition to over 120 destinations that Emirates flies to, its customers currently have access to nearly 30 Australian destinations through the partnership, while Qantas customers are able to fly on Emirates to Dubai and access over 50 cities in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
