DUBAI, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Emirates Airline will upgrade its service from Dubai to Osaka, Japan, from Oct. 28 by deploying an Airbus A380 "Superjumbo," the Dubai government-controlled carrier said on Monday in a statement.

Emirates, the international carrier of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said that the deployment of the double-decker aircraft with 489 seats in a three-class configuration represents a capacity increase of 38 percent.

Travelers will get the possibility to fly on an A380 to and from two Japanese gateways, as the flagship plane already operates daily from Narita International Airport in Tokyo.

This year marks the 10th year of Emirates' A380 operations. With a fleet size of 103, and with 59 additional aircraft on order, Emirates is the largest Airbus A380 operator in the world.
