Emirates is the largest operator of the Airbus A380 employing it on its shortest and longest routes. In the June 2017 issue of Aviation News, Martyn Cartledge examined the widebody’s role with the Middle Eastern carrier.
Emirates is synonymous with the Airbus A380. Of the 209 super jumbos delivered at the time of writing in mid-April almost half, 94, have gone to the UAE carrier with a further 48 on order. Since its first example was delivered in 2008, Emirates has flown 65 million passengers on the double-decker.
