Airplane Pictures - Emirates A380-800 "Expo 2020"

Emirates operates the largest number of the massive Airbus A380-800 passenger planes compared to all their peers in the airline industry. At the time of the writing of this blog post, Emirates reportedly had 96 of these magnificent planes in operation with a further 46 on order. 

The A380-800 is also my personal favourite. When booking my flights, if the flight schedules, plane availability and budget permit, I will usually select those flights operated using the A380. The comfort level of this plane, its relatively spacious interiors and its good handling of turbulences are exceptional. And of course, this plane looks absolutely beautiful. A marvel of engineering!

I have never flown on Emirates before and thus have not had any chance to experience the A380s operated by this reputable airline. I had however flown on the A380-800 numerous times on flights operated by Singapore Airlines and thus got to experience the comfort of this plane in both 'J' Class (Business) and 'Y' Class (Economy).

While on transit at the Hong Kong International Airport in April 2017, I saw and took the following photograph of this Emirates A380-800 from the Cathay Pacific lounge. Note that this plane was sporting a special livery for "Expo 2020, Dubai, UAE".
