(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Emirates has launched the world's shortest scheduled A380 service, flying a distance of 379 kilometres with a total travel time of 1 hour and 20 minutes from Dubai to Doha, and 1 hour 10 minutes on the return journey.
The A380 flight touched down morning at Hamad International Airport, taxiing in to a water cannon salute and was welcomed by key officials and trade guests at an Emirates reception at the terminal. Travelling on the flight from Dubai was Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates' Senior Vice President Commercial Operations, Gulf Middle East and Iran and prominent members of the UAE business community.
At the terminal, guests enjoyed a guided static tour of the iconic double-decker aircraft.
