Bengaluru next stop for Emirates' A380

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.
