Daily A380s in SYD

[Oliver Gigacz]

I am planning a day trip to Syd and was wondering what are the daily flights for A380s in SYD

[Sarmad Al-Khozaie]

SQ and EK thats for sure.

[Oliver Gigacz]

I mean the times

[Stefan Perkas]

Oliver,

I know both Singapore and Emirates fly daily with A380's.

SQ's flight arrives as SQ221 at 0555 and departs around 1525 as SQ222

EK flight arrives at 0605 then deaprts to Auckland at around 0750. It thenm arrives back at around 1925, then departs to Dubai at around 2110.

Depending on the day you go QF operates A380's on QF11-12. QF11 departs Sydney on Wednesday's friday's and Sunday's. QF12 arrives into Sydney on Tuesdays, Friday's and Sunday's. QF also fly the A380's on QF31-32 to and From via Singapore. QF32 arrives into Sydney at 1900 on Saturday's Sunday's and Monday's. QF31 departs Sydney at 1625 on Friday's Saturdays and Sunday's.

With the QF A380's you may get one ferrying in or ferrying out from Melbourne

I will stand Corrected on the Qf A380 operations.

Hope this helps Oliver.

QF31 operated by A380 leaves Sydney on Tue, Fri and Sat, returning as AF32 from London on Thursday, Sunday and Monday in the evening.

Did Air France get theres already??? :p

[Erik H. Bakke]

When they do, I'd really like to see it down here on regular services.
Once the ranges increase, maybe we will?

[Stefan Perkas]

Dear all,

It should say QF32.

Sorry.

[Nigel C]

Just as a point of interest, outside of Tolousse I believe Sydney sees the most A380 weekly movements of any airport in the world.

[Ash W]

Dear all,

It should say QF32.

Sorry.

What is there to be sorry for? It was me that wrote AF by accident.

Perhaps not noteworthy news for most; however depending on the (now delayed) departure time of QF11, all 3 Qantas A380s will be in Sydney between at least 2:10-3pm today.
OQA is currently in the hangar receiving the regular attention.
OQB is currently at the gate
OQC is currently ferring from Melbourne.

I assume OQB and OQC will be the two aircraft flyinig out tonight.
A shame OQA couldn't position itself for a photo opp with the other 2 aircraft.


**update**
OQB - working QF11
OQC - working QF31

Adam, there was a thread here a while ago with a picture supplied by Craig Murray with all 3 A380's parked nest to each other at Sydney, so it has happened on at least one occasion that I know of. :cool:
A search should reveal all!

[Nick W.]

I was hoping for a shot of the 2 QF's and SQ's A380 in about 30min, but QF11 just pushed right then when I was checking from the office window! bummer...

Thanks Nigel,
Yes that photo is actually the original reason why I came across and joined this message group. :)

Although Craig's photo is also the only one I've seen of all 3 A380s together at once. Given that fact, I'd like to think having all 3 Qantas A380s in Sydney at the same time can still be considered a 'noteworthy' occasion and I am hoping that in the near future there will be some more photos existing on the internet showing all Qantas A380s together.

Unfortunately, currently being here in Melbourne means my opportunities of getting out to Sydney airport to get photos of these aircraft are of course quite limited! :(

Certainly the opportunity to photograph 3xQantas A380s will improve as more of these aircraft are delivered to Qantas - so I really should be more patient :)

And always hope for the Auckland bound Emirates flight to be delayed 2+ hours - that will improve the chances of seeing all 3 A380 carriers together at once;)

All three A380's are usually in SYD on Fridays.

One day i was spotting at from the observation deck, that day, OQA was in the hanger, OQB was at the gate, OQC must have ferried in from melbourne and SKD was in town for Singapore, so on that day there was 4 A380's in sydney, it was a sight to see !!!!

Good to know. Thanks Fred.
