Emirates Airlines will increase its direct flights on the Dubai-Melbourne route to three round trips per day from March 30, 2025.
Currently, the route is serviced by two round trips per day on the Airbus A380 with four classes directly, and one round trip per day on the Boeing 777-300ER via Singapore. The operation through Singapore will end on the same day, transitioning the Melbourne to Singapore route to direct flights.
From that day on, the route will be operated by the Boeing 777-300ER with four classes. The aircraft will have 8 First Class suites, 40 Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy seats, and 256 Economy Class seats, totaling 326 seats.
Qantas Airways and Emirates Airlines had requested the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) to release them from the commitment of the number of seats supplied by both airlines. On October 4, the CCCS made a decision approving the request, citing reasons including a significant decrease in market share among others. Customers with reservations will be offered an alternative flight arrangement or a full refund.
Emirates Airlines operates flights to five cities in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, with a total of 77 round trips per week.
