The super jumbo jet will make a return to Kuala Lumpur from December 1 onwards
This December, Emirates passengers in Malaysia can look forward to flying on the airline’s Airbus A380, known for its spacious and luxurious cabins and signature in-flight experiences, as the Dubai-based airline gears up to meet increased travel demand to and from Malaysia.
In an interview with The News Straits Times on August 26, Emirates country manager in Malaysia Mohammad Al Attar revealed that the airline received many requests from Malaysian travellers to bring back the non-stop A380 services to the Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route in April 2022. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Emirates flew the super jumbo jet to Kuala Lumpur three times a day. Emirates flights from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai are currently operated twice daily on Boeing 777-300ER.
