Emirates plans daily A380 Perth service

Quote:

Emirates has confirmed its A380 aircraft will service Western Australia on a daily basis following the launch of its aggressive expansion program this month, when the first of Emirates' eventual fleet of 58 A380s flew from Dubai to New York.

As a special guest of Emirates on board the first commercial A380 flight, Business Class spoke to Emirates president Tim Clark, who said the A380 would serve Perth "probably once a day".

Mr Clark would not, however, commit to timing, although the airline's double daily flights between Perth and Dubai are already near capacity.
