On Tuesday, Emirates announced that it will expand its Dubai - Bangkok route by replacing a Boeing B777-300ER with an Airbus A380 from December 1. It will become the fourth A380 to be deployed on the route.

Emirates currently operate six daily services to the Thai capital, three served with A380s and three with B777-300ERs. The introduction of a fourth A380 will see an increase in capacity of 255 seats per flight and 3,570 seats per week to and from Bangkok. The two-class A380 will offer 615 seats, 58 lie-flat business class seats and 557 economy class seats.

Barry Brown,

Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations East, said: “Thailand is an important market for Emirates, and the A380 has been extremely popular with travellers since we first started the double-decker aircraft service to Thailand in 2009. The addition of this two-class A380 passenger service will give even more travellers the chance to experience this revolutionary aircraft first hand.” Flight EK376 will depart Dubai at 03.30 and arrive at Suvarnabhumi International Airport at 12.35 the same day. This flight has good connections with Europe and is particularly popular with northern European travellers from the UK and Scandinavia. The return flight, EK377, will depart Bangkok at 16.00 and arrive in Dubai at 19.55 the same day.
