Gulf carrier Emirates, which is the second carrier operating jumbo aircraft A380 to India, today said it has no plans to windrow the plane from operations.
"A380 (aircraft) is here to stay...We have the approvals from the authorities," Emirates vice president for India and Nepal, Essa Sulaiman Ahmad said in a response to a query.
Ahmad's assertion came after a section of media had reported that the Dubai-based airline may suspend its A380 operations to India.
He said that A380 was a flagship product for the Emirates and has received a wide acceptance from the customers all over.
Emirates is the world's largest Airbus A380 operators.
Singapore Airlines was the first carrier to operate the Jumbo Airbus plane on India routes when it launched one flight each to Delhi and Mumbai from Singapore on May 30.
Emirates followed the suit by deploying A380 on its Mumbai route from July 21.
