Emirates has announced the introduction of a second daily Airbus A380 flight between Dubai and Bali, commencing on September 1 and running through October 26. This move is designed to address the surge in travel demand to Bali during the peak season.
Starting September 1, Emirates flight EK398/399 between Dubai (DXB) and Bali (DPS) will transition from a Boeing 777 to an upgraded Airbus A380. This enhancement follows the successful launch of Emirates' first A380 service to Indonesia on June 1, 2023. The upgraded service is expected to increase inbound traffic to Bali during one of the island's busiest periods, while providing seamless connections for travelers from Indonesia to Dubai and beyond via Emirates’ extensive global network.
