A380 for Manchester

MANCHESTER AIRPORT will begin Airbus A380 services when Emirates Airlines replaces the Boeing 777 with the new superjumbo from 1 September.  The airport is the first regional airport in the world to accept the A380 and will be the most northerly point for Emirates Airlines A380 services.  The aircraft used for the flights includes a shower unit for First Class passengers, the upper deck given over entirely to premium class passengers.  Last year Emirates opened its own lounge at the airport, virtually a mirror image of the facility it is introducing at all the points around the globe served by the 517-passenger aeroplane. www.emirates.com
