Close on the heels of Singapore Airlines, Emirates too decided to deploy the  Airbus A380 aircraft to Mumbai thereby becoming the second carrier to operate the super-jumbo to the city.

With effect from 21 July 2014, Emirates deployed the A380 on its flagship EK500/501 flight that arrives/departs Mumbai early in the morning.
