Emirates announced an increase in capacity on its Bangkok and Hong Kong services.
The Bangkok route will receive a second daily, non-stop Airbus A380 service from 27 October 2013. The Hong Kong route subsequently will see the launch of a fourth daily service from Dubai. The new service will initially be operated by an Airbus A330-200 in a three class configuration before being upgraded to a Boeing 777-300ER later in the year.
“Earlier this year, we launched our fifth daily flight to Bangkok and passenger demand has led to the decision to operate the second A380 on the route,” said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ senior vice president, commercial operations Far East & Australasia.
