Emirates 50th anniversary livery to make debut in Bahrain to celebrate UAE’s Golden Jubilee
Emirates will operate a special one-off A380 service to Bahrain on 15 December, one day ahead of the country’s special Golden Jubilee celebrations. The Kingdom’s 50th anniversary coincides with the UAE’s Golden Jubilee, and Emirates’ special one-off operation with the specially emblazoned 50th livery further demonstrates the unique, fraternal ties between the two nations.
The airline also expects a jump in demand between Bahrain and Dubai during the long weekend ahead, and the airline is boosting its capacity to meet the high traveller volumes.
Emirates has been serving Bahrain for over 20 years, and currently operates 19 weekly flights to the Kingdom. The airline has been gradually rebuilding its operations to and from the Kingdom in line with growing demand, helping connect travellers from Bahrain to over 120 global destinations. Emirates has also been working closely with aviation and travel partners in Bahrain to further enhance connectivity and expand benefits for travellers.
At the Dubai Airshow last month, Emirates signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gulf Air to develop a codeshare partnership and increase cooperation in a number of areas across the business. This new agreement offers more choices and convenient connections for travellers across the two airline networks, in addition to reciprocal frequent flyer programme benefits.
Emirates has deployed its A380 to Bahrain a number of times over the past few years to mark special occasions and to support operational requirements during busy travel periods. Emirates has over 50 A380s in service and the double-decker currently flies to 26 global destinations from Dubai. More than 120 million passengers have travelled on the Emirates A380 since it was first launched in 2008, and the aircraft has visited 77 airports for special one-off and permanent services.
