Emirates Airline continues to expand its list of Airbus A380 destinations, with Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, set to welcome the superjumbo on 1 December. Emirates’ partnership with Malaysia began in October 1996 when the airline launched its services to Kuala Lumpur via Dhaka. By 2006, the airline connected Dubai and Kuala Lumpur non-stop and today operates 21 non-stop flights a week between the two cities. In what will be the first scheduled A380 service to Malaysia by any airline, Emirates’ flagship aircraft will operate as EK346 departing Dubai at 0405hrs and arriving in Kuala Lumpur at 1455hrs on the same day. The return leg, EK347, will depart Kuala Lumpur at 1930hrs arriving in Dubai at 2230hrs. “The United Arab Emirates is a leading trading partner with Malaysia and over the last 15 years Emirates has played its part as the bridge between these two countries. Emirates has always been committed to Malaysia and the launch of the A380 on the route follows strong and increasing demand, not just from business travellers, but leisure travellers as well, boosting Malaysian tourism,” said Richard Jewsbury, Emirates’ senior vice president, Commercial Operations Far East & Australasia.
