[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Happy New Year to all. Just a quick 1 to start off the year. Although a long way away but Emirates are to begin a 3rd DXB-SYD flight from 01DEC. Tomes are as follows

Dubai - Sydney Daily service from 01DEC09
EK414 DXB0140 - 2235 SYD 345 D
EK415 SYD0600 - 1345DXB 345 D 02DEC09-
This flight wil overnight in Sydney and depart the following morning

[Mike W]

Plenty of notice here - nearly a year!

Is this normal?

EK414 being a 345, does this mean EK412 goes to the 380?

[Steve Crook]

Wow, only a 25 minute window period between arrival and curfew. Judging by the punctuality of their 8 daily flights in and out of Sydney past our house at the moment that shouldn't be too much of a problem. But I predict a diversion or 2.

does this mean EK412 goes to the 380?

It's an A380 on 30MAY09....



....I know cos I'm booked on it :)

[Stefan Perkas]

Dear all,

From Feb 09 the A380 will begin 3x flights a week to Sydney on EK412. This flight will continue to Auckland. The other 4 flights will be operated by 77L's. This operates until the end of April. From May 01 EK412 will be daily A380's

From Feb 09 EK 418 will begin Daily DXB-BKK-SYD-CHC-SYD-BKK-DXB with the 77W's.

[Ryan N]

A 6am SYD departure for EK415? I don't think I've seen an international departure this early in SYD before. Usually the first international flight is the AKL flights at 7am.

[Mike W]

From Feb 09 EK 418 will begin Daily DXB-BKK-SYD-CHC-SYD-BKK-DXB with the 77W's.

EK418 is already a daily 77W :cool:

[Bernie P]

EK418 is already a daily 77W :cool:

The continuation to AKL is the 77w, but the CHC is the A345/6

[Mike W]

The continuation to AKL is the 77w, but the CHC is the A345/6

Of course. Thanks for the clarifcation ;)

[Jack B]

I don't think EK has A346's ;)

[Mike W]

I don't think EK has A346's ;)

I think they ordered them before cancelling... took on a few extra 380's if my memory serves me.

From feb 09 EK418 777W will go to CHC. EK412 will go to AKL. Th A380 will go to Auckaland 3 times and the 77L will go 4 times aweek to Auckaland.

It is a tiny bit lucky as I am booked on the inaugral EK A380 to Auckland on Feb 2nd and was going to get the A380 back on the 6th Feb but was changed to the 77L which I am by no means complaining about.

I cant say the same for myself though a 77L will be awesome id rather 2 A380s I reckon. I look foward to the Inaugural though with McDonald and Blake! Although I come back on the 3rd as im currently in Geneva, Switzerland<spotting tomorrow yay>

Cheers
