From 1 December, the addition will increase the carrier’s seating capacity between Dubai and Perth – with close to 500 seats available on each flight.
 
EK420 from Dubai will depart at 2:45am, arriving in Perth at 5:20pm the same day, while EK421 flight will depart from Perth at 10:20pm, arriving in Dubai at 5:25am the following day. The daily A380 service will replace the existing daily Boeing 777-300ER operation between Dubai and Perth.
  
The move comes in response to a reported "strong increase" in passenger bookings to and from Australia with "significant demand" across all cabins.

The European summer has been the biggest driver of demand for Emirates, with European cities making up eight of its top ten destinations Australians are currently flying to.

 

Topping the list is the UK – followed by Italy, France, Greece and Ireland making up the top five. Spain, Lebanon, Germany, The Netherlands and Turkey round out the top 10 destinations.
