Emirates' A380 will return to New York from October

Emirates’ A380 superjumbo will make a much-anticipated return to New York on 31st October, the airline has announced. The aircraft’s reinstatement on one of Emirates’ double daily Dubai – JFK routes comes as the carrier reported a significant increase in revenue for the Americas in 2009-10, representing a year-on-year rise of 8.1%. Growth in the Americas helped steer the airline to a net profit of AED 3.5 billion ($ 964 million), while 27.5 million passengers flew with Emirates over the last financial year, over 20% more than in 2008- 09.
