Dubai’s Emirates A380 will return to more European cities this year as it expands its double-decker network.

The A380 will return to Glasgow (March 26), Nice (June 1) and Birmingham (July 1) as flights increase following the global Covid-19 pandemic.

The airline also announced it will resume its second daily service to Stansted starting from May 1, utilising its wide-body Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

With the return of the second daily flight to Stansted, Emirates will ramp up  its operations to London with 11 daily flights, including six times daily to London Heathrow and three times daily to Gatwick.

The airline continues to expand its global network and increase capacity in line with growing travel demand.

Emirates currently deploys its flagship A380 to 40 destinations worldwide. By the end of this summer, the popular aircraft will be serving almost 50 destinations, restoring close to 90% of the airline’s pre-pandemic A380 network.

Emirates is the largest operator of Airbus A380, with more than 80 aircraft currently in active service.

The airline first launched A380 operations to Birmingham in 2016; Nice in 2017; and Glasgow in 2019.

The airline’s first A380 to be completely refurbished under the airline’s $2bn retrofit program was deployed earlier this month on the Dubai-London Heathrow service

The airline also plans to ramp up its four-class A380 operations featuring Premium Economy cabins to more than 35 destinations across 20 countries by March 2024.
