Emirates Increases Perth Capacity with Launch
of Second Daily A380 Service
Perth Airport welcomed its second daily Airbus A380
service this morning with the arrival of Emirates flight EK424
from Dubai at 12.50am.
Emirates’ second A380 Perth service will
operate daily on the EK425 morning Perth to Dubai service and the
return EK424 flight, replacing the current morning B777-300ER
service.
“The introduction of a second daily A380 service
on the Perth-Dubai route has reaffirmed Emirates’ commitment to
Western Australia as a destination, and means that more than
14,000 passengers can now fly between Perth and Dubai each week,”
said Kevin Brown, Chief Executive Officer, Perth Airport. “The
Emirates network includes over 150 destinations across six
continents, opening up more opportunities for Western Australians
to enjoy some fantastic global holiday destinations.”
Emirates is continuing to grow its fleet of the
hugely popular Airbus A380
aircraft. Passengers can now fly to over 40 global
destinations from Perth in their flagship aircraft.
“To improve the customer experience for Emirates
passengers, the expanded International Departures lounge includes
the newly opened Hudson Coffee and JR Duty Free store, and allows
direct access to the Business and First Class Lounge which is
situated next to the A380 gate,” Mr Brown added. “Our new
International Departures lounge has the capacity to accommodate
passengers departing on two A380 aircraft at the same time, so we
look forward to working with airlines to deliver more services to
Perth Airport in the coming years.”
EK424 departs Dubai at 10:10, arriving in
Perth at 00:50 the next day. EK425 departs Perth at 06:00,
arriving in Dubai at 13:00 on the same day.
