Emirates will carry an additional 500kg of water on its Airbus A380s to feed the shower installations being fitted as a feature of the first-class cabin on the type.

The A380 will have two shower-spas in the forward upper deck, ahead of the 14 first-class suites, and Emirates president Tim Clark today detailed the mechanism which enables them to function.

Clark says the showers are a “masterpiece” of engineering, taking water stored from a tank in the vicinity of the centre wing-box and pumping it up two decks to the spa cubicle.
