The award-winning in-flight entertainment system ice offers up to 6,500 channels of on-demand entertainment.
Elisabeth Zauner, Country Manager of Emirates Austria, is delighted about the return of the Emirates A380 to Vienna: "The deployment of our A380 until the end of the winter schedule is a great milestone for us, which emphasises the importance of Vienna as a destination and as a departure point. We naturally hope that our flagship will return permanently in the future."
In order to guarantee a particularly high standard of comfort for passengers, the Emirates A380 offers 14 seats in First Class, 76 in Business Class and 429 seats in Economy Class on the Vienna-Dubai route. The use of the A380 means that almost 40% more passengers can be transported, which emphasises the importance of Vienna as a location and highlights the demand for long-haul travel via Dubai. Freight capacity on the Vienna-Dubai route will not increase as a result of the change of aircraft type.
Emirates is the largest operator of the A380 aircraft in the world with 116 aircraft currently in its fleet. Nearly 90 A380s are currently in service across Emirates’ global network, including to popular destinations Bangkok, Mauritius, Denpasar/Bali and Sydney.
