Emirates is to serve four of its five daily flights to London Heathrow with the A380 superjumbo from next March.
Only last month the carrier announced it would move to a three times-daily A380 service to Heathrow from January (see online news November 15), and this latest announcement will add a fourth superjumbo flight from March 25.
The newest flight to see the A380 will be EK006, departing Heathrow at 2215 and arriving into Dubai at 0805 the following day.
As things stand, from next March the only Emirates service from Heathrow not to be operated by an A380 will be EK008, which currently departs at 0910 and is served by a B777 aircraft. Emirates also flies to London Gatwick airport again using B777 aircraft.
