Going to bring this back up to the forefront, since it is happening soon. Thanks to another member of the forum, I believe these are all now painted in the "new" livery, and none are left in the old dark grey livery... What a shame..

Morning all,

Asiana Airlines will be sending A330-300 aircraft on Monday and Tuesday instead of normal 777-200ER aircraft on OZ601/602 Sydney flights.

[Shayne G]

Asiana Airlines have recently changed equipment on more upcoming flights.


6th and 8th July OZ601/602 flights will be operated by A330-300 instead of 777-200ER.

As an aside I subscribe to ch-aviation's full package & was look at OZ schedules tonight, there's an OZ A320 sector SYD-CHC listed on Tuesdays from December to I think it was February. No associated sectors though, ie doesn't show how the aircraft arrives in SYD not where it goes from CHC. Does anyone know anything at all?? Thanks a lot in advance!

[Brock Little]

Could be a codeshare with an NZ flight which is operated by an A320? OZ and NZ are both members of the Star Alliance.

[Tim Bowrey]

At a guess without looking into it at all, may I suggest it's probably code share with Star Alliance parter Air NZ?

[Rowan McKeever]

That's what I thought... should've looked at NZ schedules too really! Will do that tonight...

Thanks guys!

[Rowan McKeever]

Thanks Tim & Brock... just looked again a bit deeper and it's definitely a codeshare on NZ (OZ6560 ops as NZ884). Cheers!

It looks as though Asiana is planning A380 flights over the Christmas New Year period, followed by 744. Not sure where they'll park the A380 each day with the additional Emirates A380 which be there at this time. Hopefully, not at the pond.

Asiana Airlines in last week’s schedule update has further expanded planned Airbus A380 operation for Seoul Incheon – Sydney route, previously scheduled for 6 round-trip flights in November 2016. Latest schedule update now also shows the A380 will operate this route on daily basis, from 26DEC16 to 05FEB17 (ICN departure), replacing 777-200ER.

OZ601 ICN2000 – 0820+1SYD 388 D
OZ602 SYD1020 – 1900ICN 388 D

In addition, the airline has filed long-haul operation for Boeing 747-400 aircraft in 1Q17, as the 747 is scheduled to serve Sydney market from 06FEB17 to 26FEB17 (ICN departure). First Class cabin is not opened for A380 and Boeing 747 operating flights. Also, previously planned A380 service to Shanghai is cancelled as a result of this latest aircraft reassignment.

The pond isn't avbl for any A380 parking due to OLS issues.
