Prague to become an A380 destination across the Emirates network

Emirates last week announced it will deploy its highly-popular A380 to even more destinations across its network in 2016. Birmingham (BHX), Prague (PRG) and Taipei (TPE) have been added to the growing list of A380 destinations, making Emirates the first and only airline to operate a scheduled A380 service from each of these destinations.
Emirates’ daily Birmingham flight, EK39/40, will be up-gauged to an A380 beginning 27th March 2016. Emirates A380 services to Prague and Taiwan will start from 1st May 2016. Additionally, Barcelona will be served with a second daily Emirates A380 service from 1st June 2016.
The introduction and increase of Emirates’A380 services in these strategic destinations means more travellers will have the opportunity to experience our industry-leading A380 product,” says Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates.
The daily Emirates Dubai-Prague route, operating as EK139, will depart Dubai at 09:05hrs and arrive in Prague at 13:30hrs. The return leg, operating as EK140, will depart Prague at 15:40hrs and arrive in Dubai at 23:35hrs. The A380 route will be operated in a three-class configuration, representing a 44 per cent increase in capacity.
There are currently 36 A380 destinations on the Emirates network, setting the industry benchmark for both A380 connectivity and customer experience.
