HISTORY ASPECTS: The Emirates Airbus A310-300, registration A6-EKB, played a pivotal role in the early expansion of Emirates' fleet during the 1990s. Delivered in 1991, A6-EKB was part of Emirates' strategy to establish itself as a leading international airline, bridging the gap between smaller regional aircraft and larger long-haul jets. The A310-300 provided the ideal combination of range, capacity, and efficiency, allowing Emirates to expand its network to destinations in Europe, Asia, and Africa. As a medium-range wide-body aircraft, it was well-suited for Emirates' expanding route map, connecting Dubai to major global cities. The A310-300 was configured to offer a superior passenger experience that aligned with Emirates’ high standards of service, featuring a two-class layout with comfortable seating in both Economy and Business classes. During its time with Emirates, A6-EKB became known for its reliability and versatility, frequently flying routes to cities such as London, Frankfurt, and Singapore. The aircraft's range of over 5,000 miles enabled Emirates to cater to growing passenger demand and establish a solid international footprint in a highly competitive market. A6-EKB remained an essential part of Emirates' fleet until its retirement in the early 2000s, when it was phased out to make way for newer, more advanced aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A330. However, the legacy of the A310-300 era at Emirates remains significant. It represented a period of aggressive growth and ambition, during which Emirates transformed from a regional carrier into a global aviation powerhouse. The aircraft helped set the foundation for Emirates' reputation for innovation, luxury, and extensive global connectivity. This 1:400 scale model with landing gear captures the elegant design and classic livery of Emirates during a formative era for the airline.
