Emirates has reached a decade of services to New Zealand as the airline celebrates five years of flying its superjumbo Airbus A380 around the world.
The airline started services between Auckland and Dubai via Australia on August 2, 2003 with two inaugural flights and has built up to four daily
services, three from Auckland and one from Christchurch.
The airline announced 10 per cent discounts to 10 destinations until August 12 to mark the decade here.
"We have had a fantastic decade of growth thanks to the belief of so many New Zealanders in our product and service and we want to acknowledge that support," said Emirates New Zealand regional manager Chris Lethbridge.
From October, when all three Auckland services will be operated by A380s, the airline will provide 1812 seats a day in each direction on New Zealand services.
