Emirates to fly A380 to London Heathrow and Paris, adds Glasgow and Munich to network

Malaysian travellers can now travel to London Heathrow and Paris on Emirates’ flagship A380 aircraft from July 15 onwards. This marks the return of Emirates’ flagship aircraft on scheduled services since the pandemic forced the temporary grounding of the airline’s passenger fleet in March.

Emirates commenced services for passengers between Dubai and Kuala Lumpur on 17 June. The services are currently offered four times per week on a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. In Dubai passengers can connect onwards to destinations that Emirates currently operates.

Emirates has also announced that it will resume flights to Cairo and Tunis (from 1 July); Khartoum (from 03 July); Amman (from 05 July); Osaka (from 07 July); Narita (from 08 July); Athens, Larnaca, Rome and Glasgow (15 July); and Malé (from 16 July).

In July, Emirates will have resumed flights to a total of 52 destinations across its network, offering travellers convenient connections between the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas through its Dubai hub, while ensuring the health and safety of customers and employees on the ground and in the air.

These flights can be booked online at www.emirates.com/my  or via travel agents.
