Dubai’s Emirates airline will receive its second A380 superjumbo on October 24 and hopes Airbus will stick to the timetable of further deliveries after earlier delays, its president said Thursday.
“It will be delivered on October 24 in Hamburg,” Tim Clark said during a tour with journalists of Dubai airport’s new terminal, which is due to open next week.
He said further deliveries would take place in November and December with a fifth aircraft to be delivered in either January or February.
When asked if he believed Airbus would abide by the new timetable, he said: “I hope so.”
Emirates launched a non-stop service with the A380 between Dubai and New York on August 1.
