Emirates is set to enhance its fleet by introducing retrofitted Airbus A380 aircraft on routes to Manchester and Milan. This announcement follows the airline's decision to expand the use of these aircraft, which will now fly to a total of 19 destinations globally.
The airline revealed that flights from Dubai International Airport (DXB) to Manchester Airport (MAN) will start on June 6, while flights to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) will begin on July 1. There is a possibility that the retrofitted aircraft could commence service to Milan earlier if retrofitting progresses swiftly. The routes are currently serviced by A380 aircraft operating daily as flights EK17/EK18 for Manchester and EK91/92 for Milan.
Highlighting the benefits of its retrofitted A380s, Emirates noted that the introduction of these aircraft to Manchester will boost its premium economy seats to the UK to nearly 5,000 weekly from June. This move complements the existing four daily retrofitted A380 flights to London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and services to Edinburgh and London Stansted.
