Dubai: Emirates Airline is marking 15 years of operations to Auckland, New Zealand, having launched the route in 2003 and carried over two million passengers on it since then.

Emirates began its services to Auckland with daily flights via Sydney and Melbourne, and later, Brisbane.

In 2009, the airline launched its A380 aircraft on the route.

Today, Emirates operates a daily A380 non-stop flight from Auckland to Dubai and a daily service with a Boeing 777 via Bali.
