Emirates is all geared up to send a one-off A380 flight to Muscat International Airport next month.
The special flight, on July 1, will be a nod to the airline's 25th year of flying to the Omani capital and shows off the airport's ability to handle the enormous A380 aircraft. The new passenger terminal at Muscat International Airport opened in March.
The one-off service will depart Dubai at 8.25am, arriving in Muscat at 9.25am, and will make its way back at 12.10pm, landing in Dubai at 1.10pm.
