Emirates celebrates one millionth A380 passenger from Birmingham Airport

Emirates recently celebrated its one millionth A380 passenger at Birmingham Airport.

The airline achieved this milestone two years after the inaugural flight of its Airbus A380 in March 2016 and less than a year since another A380 launched in October 2017.

From Birmingham, passengers flying with the airline and connecting through Dubai can travel to popular destination's such as Dubai, Bali, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Delhi and Sydney.

Richard Jewsbury, vice president of UK & Ireland for the airline, said: "Emirates has been operating at Birmingham Airport for over 17 years and we?re delighted that, two years after the launch of the iconic A380 service in 2016, we?ve reached the one millionth passenger milestone.?

Tom Screen, aviation diirector for Birmingham Airport, added: ?The partnership between Emirates and Birmingham Airport is one of the success stories of regional aviation in this country. The faith that Emirates have shown in the region over the almost 18 years is phenomenal and with two 615 seat A380?s per day flying from Birmingham, there is more opportunity than ever to travel to some of the incredible destinations on their network, such as Australia, China, Thailand, India and the Indian Ocean. We look forward to welcoming the next million passengers as the route continues to flourish.?

The airline currently operates out of seven UK gateways, including include Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester and Glasgow. An extra daily flight will be added from Edinburgh as of next month, bringing the total of daily flights from the UK to Dubai to nineteen.
