 Emirates, one of the world's fastest airlines, will operate the first
ever A380 scheduled service into Athens. Touching down at Athens
International Airport on October 26, will mark a significant milestone
for Emirates and its operations in Greece.
"Our customers in Athens are eager to try our A380 services and we
have worked closely with the local authorities to make this possible.
Although we have no immediate plans to operate an A380 on the route
permanently, we remain dedicated to providing customers in Athens with
convenient flight and onward connection times through our Dubai hub,"
said Jewsbury.
