Emirates takes delivery of two aircraft

Emirates has received delivery of its 43rd and 44th, A380 aircraft from Airbus' Finkenwerder facility in Hamburg, Germany. "Customers love the A380. It is a beautiful aircraft which we have packed full of the best inflight comforts and products.

From an operator standpoint, the A380 is still one of the most fuel efficient aircraft per seat. It offers us some flexibility in range and also helps us to meet demand at slot-constrained airports," said President Emirates Airline, Tim Clark.

"Continuous improvements are being made to the A380, by the manufacturer and by Emirates in terms of on-board product. For instance the latest A380s have been fitted with even bigger high definition LCD TV screens to enhance the inflight entertainment experience," he said.

"We've also introduced new touch-screen tablets that allow passengers to control all their seat functions and movie selections with just one swipe. Small details, but all these add up to provide a great flying experience," Clark said.The 43rd and 44th Emirates A380s offer 14 seats in First Class, 76 seats in Business Class and 427 seats in Economy Class, and were put into service recently, initially operating on flights to Mauritius and Munich.

Emirates operates the world's largest fleet of A380s, flying one in three of these modern jets in the skies today. Emirates was the first airline to order the aircraft back in 2000, and it ordered another 50 more at the Dubai Air Show in November.
