The 615-seat double-decker, absent since March 2020, will bring extra capacity for business and leisure customers on BHX’s twice-daily Dubai services. Flight EK039 touched down in Birmingham on Saturday before departing for Dubai.
Richard Jewsbury, Emirates divisional vice president in the UK, said: "We’re excited to be bringing back our iconic A380 aircraft back to Birmingham.
"The return will make it easier to connect more passengers to popular, long-haul destinations including Thailand, Australia, and of course the vibrant city of Dubai for summer and beyond."
