Emirates Axes Sydney-Auckland Airbus A380 Flights

It will be interesting to see if the Dubai-Sydney schedules change time wise for maximum utilisation of the aircraft. |
I wonder how much the direct Auckland - Dubai A380 flight has affected loads on Emirates Sydney - Auckland and their other Auckland trans-tasman flights.
It is great to see a QANTAS A332 being used to Auckland up to twice per day. QANTAS did operate at least one of their daily Sydney - Auckland and return flights with the A332 over the Christmas/New Year period. |

...which if it doesn't go onto Auckland will sit in Sydney from when it arrives from Bangkok at 7:40 until it departs back to Bangkok at 18:30, without a schedule change.

As a commuter on flights to NZ I a sorry to see the A380 come off the run, but it's a matter of profitability. I try to make sure I avoid a B737 or A320 whenever going to NZ. Similarly going to Perth where I always make sure I am on an A332. EK also have competition with the non stop AKL-DOH flts. Often wondered if the number of EK tails at AKL each afternoon was the largest at one airport outside of DXB?
