Emirates’ A380s return to the skies

Emirates Airline will deploy its iconic A380 on its daily Amsterdam service, and add a second daily A380 service to London Heathrow starting from August 1.

The latest announcement follows the Emirates A380's return to the skies today with EK001 to London Heathrow taking off from Dubai International airport at 07:45 am, and EK073 at 08:20 am, carrying commercial passengers on the flagship aircraft for the first time since March.
