Emirates is showcasing its Airbus A380 aircraft through this week at the 2014 ILA Berlin Air Show.
The A380 on display is Emirates’ 48th in its fleet and was delivered directly from Airbus in Hamburg Finkenwerder to the show site, allowing ILA visitors to be among the first guests on board the brand new double-decker.
This is also the 150th A380 to be delivered from Airbus globally. Emirates now has a further 92 on firm order.
German Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel visited the Emirates A380 display at ILA Berlin as part of the official opening tour for the air show.
Emirates was the first airline to order the A380 and is the largest operator of this aircraft. The Emirates A380 currently operates to 27 destinations, including Auckland with three daily, and has carried over 25 million passengers since 2008.
The Emirates A380 is the largest aircraft displayed this year at the Berlin ExpoCenter Airport in Schönefeld. At the last ILA Berlin Air Show in 2012, more than 2,000 visitors toured an Emirates A380 on the first two show days.
