Dubai-based carrier Emirates Airlines will introduce a fourth daily service to Bangkok in Thailand next month.

The Middle East's largest carrier’s extra flight will begin on December 2 and is part of its Asia-Pacific expansion plans, reported the Bangkok Post.

According to the paper the fourth flight gives the airline the largest capacity between the Middle East and Thailand. The carrier currently uses four wide-bodied jets on the route, including the A380 superjumbo that can carry 488 passengers.
