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."
Earlier this year, agents in Scotland hailed the return of Emirates’ A380 to Glasgow after the carrier said it was not expecting "any major issues" to impact travel this summer.
