Emirates brings forward last A380-deliveries
Emirates has reached an agreement with Airbus to bring forward the delivery of its final three A380s. The trio, A6-EVQ (270), A6-EVR (271) and A6-EVS (272, the final produced A380!) were originally scheduled for delivery in June 2022. However, with demand slowly returning and these three aircraft having Emirates' new Premium Economy, the airline decided to accelerate the delivery.
Once delivered in November, Emirates will have a fleet of 118 A380s, with six of these configured in the new four class lay-out featuring the new Premium Economy. By October, the airline plans to operate the A380 on its routes to Amman, Cairo, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Guangzhou, London-Heathrow, Los Angeles (CA), Manchester, Mauritius, Moscow, Munich, New York-JFK (NY), Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Toronto, Vienna, Washington (DC), and Zurich.
