Bengaluru will be the second city in India to be served by the Emirates A380 aircraft.

From October 30, the airline will use the double-decker aircraft for one of its three daily services between Dubai and Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport.

The daily A380 flights will operate as EK568/569 in a three-class configuration.

The aircraft upgrade will allow customers travelling to and from the South Indian city to enjoy its signature services across a broader network.

Emirates has been operating the A380 on its Dubai – Mumbai route since 2014.

The airline started its India operations in 1985 with scheduled services to Mumbai and Delhi and has been serving customers in Bengaluru since 2006.
