Emirates to deploy 615-seat A380 to Manchester

Emirates, a leading world airline, has announced to operate a 615-seat A380 on its Manchester route next year.

The airline will introduce this two-class superjumbo between Dubai and Manchester using A380 from January 1, which will replace three-class A380 currently operating this route.

Previously it was planned to operate high end aircraft to London Gatwick from that date when Emirates' London service becomes an A380-only.

The carrier’s three-times daily Gatwick operation will still turn A380-only in the new year, but it will be operated using a three-class superjumbo not the 615-seater A380 as it was planned.

Now Emirates will operate its thrice daily Manchester flights with three-class A380 while Manchester route will be operated with two A380s (one two-class, the other three-class) and a B777.

The airline hopes that the soon to be introduced two class A380 service to Manchester will be well received by business and leisure travellers.
