An Emirates A380 aircraft arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on Sunday afternoon as part of ongoing efforts by the airline to explore the potential of the Taiwan market.
The dual-deck, four-engine jetliner manufactured by Airbus, which is currently the largest passenger airliner in the world, flew in from Dubai, arriving at 4:40 p.m., with 475 passengers on board, including former Premier Sean Chen.
Emirates, which launched seven daily flights to Taiwan in February 2014 using Boeing 777 jets, was also the first airline to land an A380 aircraft at Taoyuan Airport near Taipei, which installed two double- decker jet bridges in May to accommodate the ultra-high-capacity aircraft.
Terry Daly, Emirates divisional senior vice president, said on July 17 that the airline is assessing the possibility of using the popular A380 on regular flights to Taiwan.
Although Daly declined to specify when Emirates will start using A380s on the route, he did say that the airline will continue to assess demand and customer response before making a decision.
The return flight EK367 is scheduled to depart at 11:45 p.m. and will arrive in Dubai at 4:15 a.m. local time the next day, the carrier said.
Travel time for both trips is eight hours and 30 minutes, during which passengers can enjoy free Wi-Fi and in-flight entertainment, with first shower spas available for first class passengers.
