The Emirates A380 model has been replicated in perfect detail, taking over 60 hours of intricate craftsmanship by Mini-Europe’s expert modellers, to capture the distinctive features of the A380 and iconic Emirates livery. Custom-made at a scale of 1:25, the aircraft still measures nearly three meters in length (292 cm) with an impressive wingspan of 320 cm and a height of 45 cm. From the proportions of the fuselage to the fine details of the livery, the model highlights the expertise and craftsmanship that define Mini-Europe’s creations.

Emirates has been serving Brussels for over 11 years and has carried over 3 million passengers to and through Dubai. Over the years, Emirates has consistently enhanced its passenger offering, adding a second daily frequency and bringing its latest aircraft to Belgian skies, including the fully retrofitted Boeing 777, equipped with Premium Economy.

In 2018, Emirates operated a special one-off A380 flight into Brussels Airport, to celebrate the inauguration of the airport’s first A380-capable gate.
