Emirates is all geared up to send a one-off A380 flight to Muscat International Airport next month.
The special flight, on July 1, will be a nod to the airline's 25th year of flying to the Omani capital and shows off the airport's ability to handle the enormous A380 aircraft. The new passenger terminal at Muscat International Airport opened in March.
The one-off service will depart Dubai at 8.25am, arriving in Muscat at 9.25am, and will make its way back at 12.10pm, landing in Dubai at 1.10pm.

"It is a very important destination for us in the region and we maintain our strong commitment to the country. We look forward to showcasing our innovative products and stylish amenities on board this iconic aircraft to our trade partners and travel industry stakeholders in Oman.”

Tank warfare
Lt Gen Erik Petersen, deputy chief of programs, US Army, has argued it took a “three decade holiday” on modernising tanks.
“There clearly remains a significant armoured heavy ground manoeuvre threat in this world and maintaining a world class armoured force is absolutely vital,” the general said in London last week.
“We are developing next generation capabilities to compete with and deter adversaries to prevent opportunism or miscalculation, and, if necessary, defeat any foe decisively.”
