Emirates had withdrawn the A380 from JFK in June 2009 after an initial nine-month run and after the New York Port Authority supposedly spent $180 million to accommodate the oversize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.
