We are excited to finally bring our Airbus flagship home and see Hamburg join the other 48 destinations we currently serve with the A380, said Volker Greiner, Emirates vice president North and Central Europe.
The Emirates A380 is an iconic aircraft that continues to excite our customers and set the benchmark for travel comfort in commercial flying.
We look forward to offering the award-winning Emirates A380 experience to our customers flying from Hamburg.
The switch to the A380 offers a total of 1,120 additional seats per week in each direction, meeting a growing demand from travellers on the route and demonstrating our commitment to Hamburg.
Enabling an increase in passenger numbers will also result in additional tourism revenues for Hamburg and its wider region, which in turn will mean boosting the local economy and job creation.
Emirates has been a fixed component of our operations and a reliable partner for 12 years now, commented Michael Eggenschwiler, CEO of Hamburg Airport.
Demand has been high on the direct route to the hub in Dubai, now served with two daily flights, from the very beginning.
The fact that Emirates is now also deploying the A380 for scheduled operations at Hamburg Airport is a logical consequence of the consistently high load factor on the Dubai flight.
For passengers, this means even more comfort and an even better product offering. The decision is a clear commitment to Hamburg.
As Hamburg becomes the 49th destination on Emirates’ global network to be served by its highly popular A380 aircraft, passengers travelling from Hamburg can enjoy a seamless A380 to A380 experience via Dubai to Auckland, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney, Taipei, Tokyo and many more.
This year marks the 10th year of Emirates’ A380 operations.
The airline is by far the largest Airbus A380 operator on the planet.
With a current 103-strong A380 fleet and an order backlog for 59 additional aircraft combined, Emirates’ commitment to the A380 programme is worth over $60 billion.
