Keith T 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...1-23349,00.html The airline announced yesterday that it would increase its weekly flights to Australia from 49 to 70 by 2009, using bigger and newer planes. The expansion will include direct services to Melbourne and Sydney by 489-seat Airbus A380 superjumbos equipped with showers, lounges and other features the airline says will not be seen on competitors. The airline will double its Brisbane flights, adding a second daily service from October next year using new A340-500 aircraft to operate non-stop to Dubai. Bigger Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the airline's latest cabins will fly on the service via Singapore from July. Melbourne will move from two to three daily services in February 2009, while Sydney will gain a third non-stop service later that year. The expansion uses all but 14 of the additional weekly flights allocated to Emirates for the nextfour years by the federal Government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
