Emirates introduces the A380 into service

The lounge has a flight attendant behind the bar serving drinks and a huge TV screen on the wall showing views from the aircraft’s onboard cameras and the moving map.

We’re learning a lot about this aeroplane, it has the makings of something really special and it’s only going to get better,” said Emirates president Tim Clark onboard his airline’s first A380 service – from Dubai to New York – on August 1.
