Emirates will operate its inaugural A380 flight to Singapore from Dubai on 8 September 2012.

The 517-seat double-decker A380 aircraft will be deployed for flights EK 354 and EK 355 between 8 September 2012 and 21 September 2012 on the back of strong passenger demands in both directions, replacing the regular 354-seat Boeing 777-300ER.

“Emirates has seen growing passenger demand for flights on the Singapore-Dubai route over the last few years, be it for business or leisure purposes. Just last year, we increased the frequency of flights on the Singapore-Dubai with seven additional weekly flights, bringing the total number of flights out of Singapore to 28 - the most number of direct Singapore-Dubai flights offered by any airline,” said Mr Nick Rees, Emirates’ Manager, Singapore and Brunei.

The Emirates superjumbo’s three-class configuration boasts 14 private First Class Suites, 76 lie-flat beds in Business Class and 427 seats in Economy Class.

Passengers across all cabins will get to enjoy over 1,400 channels on Emirates’ Digital Widescreen inflight entertainment system - ice, and stay connected to the internet throughout their journey with high speed Wi-Fi access.

Emirates’ A380 offers First and Business Class passengers the unique opportunity to socialise, relax and even do business on its onboard lounge.

First Class passengers have the added luxury of two onboard Shower Spas, offering them a revitalised and refreshed arrival at their destination.
