The city’s residents and the international
visitors for the Dubai 2005 will be able to see the Airbus A380 super-jumbo, in Emirates’ full livery, for the very first time as it flies over the city at low altitudes on 19th November. This will also mark the first time the A380 sports any
airline’s full livery.HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Emirates’ Chairman said: “The A380’s
test flight to Dubai is historic and significant for the entire region. It
underpins the impressive profile Emirates and Dubai have created in the
international arena. Dubai’s residents and visitors will now have a
fantastic preview of the future of long-haul air travel as the massive A380
takes to the skies.

“Our order for 45 of these aircraft will further propel Emirates’ meteoric
ascent in the aviation industry and catalyse commerce and industry locally,
providing a big thrust to Dubai’s vision of becoming a global hub.”
