Another set of pics from my mate Mike at AKL HERE

 

For those who dont know today also marked several changes to EKs NZ ops.

 

EK412/413 changed from a A345 DXB-SYD-CHC to the alternating A388/772LR DXB-SYD-AKL while EK418/419 the 77E swapped from DXB-BKK-SYD-AKL to DXB-BKK-SYD-CHC

 

EK434/435 swapped from a 77E to a A345 and now ops DXB-BNE-AKL dropping the SIN stopover.

 

So that means the 3 daily EK flights from AKL are now all 1 stop to Dubai

Good find Chainy. Great photos and video Nzom Pilot. I can't wait for it to come into Melbourne. Any news on when we will get the A380? Currently have the Morning A345 Arrival and Take Off and the Evening B777 Arrival and Departure.

common Dave - it would be easier to land than a Jabiru :]

Now in Sydney. Will be leaving tonight as EK 413 at 21.45

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Seems EK is having some teething problems with the A380 out of Sydney tonight. EK 413 was due to depart 21.45 and just pushing back now at 22.35

Might have been at this end Darren - scheduled out of AKL at 1845NZDT actual departure around 2000NZDT so about the same delay as out of SYD.

Yes I remember Singapore Airlines also had one delay after another when the A380 first came online for them in Sydney. Just getting used to the aircraft etc I suppose.
