Emirates will be providing more choice and comfort for its customers in Bahrain, introducing the first scheduled Airbus A380 service during June. This is the first time an airline operates the double-decker on a regularly scheduled basis to the Kingdom and demonstrates the operational readiness of the new airport to provide the necessary infrastructure to accommodate for an A380 service.
Flight EK 839/840, previously operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, has been upgraded to the flagship and customer favourite, the Emirates A380. The change of aircraft will help meet a growing demand to and from Bahrain during the summer and underscores the airline's commitment to making connections for travellers to and through Dubai even easier.
In line with the start of A380 services, the airline is also offering special fares to popular destinations for Bahrainis, including Dubai, Istanbul and Maldives. Economy passengers can enjoy fares to Dubai starting from BHD 108, Istanbul from BHD 226 and Maldives from BHD 400. Fares in Business Class start from BHD 683 to Dubai, BHD 770 to Istanbul and BHD 1,063 to the Maldives.
The offer is valid for booking from today until 30 June 2021 for outbound travel until 31 December 2021.*
Emirates flight EK 837 will depart Dubai daily at 1530hrs, arriving in Bahrain at 1550hrs. The return flight EK 840 leaves Bahrain at 1750hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2000hrs. The Emirates A380 aircraft will operate daily, in addition to an earlier morning service, EK837/838, served by a Boeing 777-300ER.
The Emirates Airbus A380 aircraft serving the Dubai-Bahrain route offers a total of 507 seats in a three-class configuration, with 417 spacious seats in Economy Class, 76 fully flat-bed seats in Business Class and 14 First Class Private Suites.
The Emirates A380 experience is sought after amongst travellers for its spacious and comfortable cabins. The airline will continue to expand its deployment in line with the gradual return in demand. Emirates currently operates the A380 to New York JFK, Paris, Jeddah, Amman, Cairo, Frankfurt, Bangkok, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Moscow and will soon be deploying the aircraft to Los Angeles in July.
Emirates has been serving the Kingdom of Bahrain for over two decades, delivering the best in terms of network, convenient schedules and onboard products and services to travellers. The airline has in the past deployed numerous one-off A380 missions to Bahrain in celebration of the Kingdom's National Days. It has also displayed its flagship double-decker twice at the Bahrain Airshow.
Bahrain has reopened its borders for tourists and visitors, and travellers from the UAE can travel to the Kingdom without having to quarantine on either end of their journey. Customers are, however, urged to check Bahrain's entry requirements before travel.
Emirates remains focused on taking the stress out of travel and has led the industry in protecting the health of its customers to ensure a feeling of safety and confidence when deciding to fly. Emirates' customers travel with the assurance that the latest health and safety measures are in place at every step of the journey. The airline has also recently introduced contactless technology to ease customers through Dubai airport.
Emirates continues to lead the industry with innovative products and services that address traveller needs during a dynamic time. Recently the airline took its customer care initiatives further with even more generous and flexible booking policies, an extension of its multi-risk insurance cover, and helping loyal customers retain their miles and tier status.
