The new offering on this route would, the airline said, offer increased seat capacity on flights to and from Japan’s second-largest city, in addition to introducing refreshed interiors across First, Business and Economy Class cabins. Emirates also operates a daily four-class A380 service to Tokyo Narita, and a daily Boeing 777-300ER service to Tokyo Haneda.
From June 1, Emirates’ four-class A380 will replace the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft currently operating the service to and from Osaka’s Kansai International Airport (KIX). The change would mean 910 additional weekly seats between Dubai and Osaka on Emirates.
In May, based on Emirates’ earlier announcement, 63 A380s which were in for refurbishment would be ready for service. The airline had said that 53 Boeing 777s would then be retrofitted similarly, and those would go into service by March 2025.
