Ek3413

Emirates B773 A6-EBQ was seen climbing out over Katoomba and heading West this morning on flight EK3413 . Any ideas anyone as to this unusual flight number and the origin /destination of this flight ?? ....

According to 16Right.com ACARS:

Arrived direct from DXB?
A6-EBQ EK5412 27/05/2008 08:04 Emirates B777-36NER Dubai-Sydney

And according to Sydneyairport.com it went back direct to DXB at 10am so it was only here for about 2hrs. No idea why.

Hi David,

This looks like a special charter between Adventure World and Emirates.

Have a look at http://www.adventureworld.com.au/media/flyer_pdf/2009.pdf

A6-EBQ EK5412 27/05/2008 08:04 Emirates B777-36NER Dubai-Sydney
A6-EBQ EK3413 27/05/2008 10:28 Emirates B777-36NER Sydney-Dubai

The charter must have been inbound only, because the travel industry sales sites have been flogging off really cheap fares on the return SYD-DXB sector ($600-odd return)

Thanks all for clearing this up for me ..
