  Emirates A380 Flights Reinstated Into JFK

Emirates airline lately reinstated flights aboard its fleet of A380s - the world's largest plane on one of its double-daily JFK routes to Dubai, more than a year after a shortage of demand halted operation on this route.

Emirates Airline
Nigel Page, Emirates' senior vice president of commercial operations for Africa and the Americas stated that last year was a tough year for all airlines.They were facing an huge loss in traffic,especially in business and first class, which were down about 50%.

Emirates had withdrawn the A380 from JFK in June 2009 after an initial nine-month run and after the New York Port Authority supposedly spent $180 million to accommodate the oversize plane by strengthening runways, broadening taxiways and widening baggage areas.

The Dubai-based company, Emirates Airline, which joins Air France as the lone airline to fly the luxury jet into New York, arrives after Emirates reported a net profit of $964 million for its Americas routes in 2009-2010, an 8.1% revenue increase.

Nigel Page stated that on the financial front, things have changed greatly for Emirates in a fine manner.
