A380 Movements - Australia
 

A380 to visit Adelaide on September 27 for only 25 minutes, then October 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17, with some of those dates having two visits a day.

I'll be in Adelaide on October 4 and 5, so if anyone has further information of the A380's arrival/departure times on those dates it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou for those Dates:)

and on sun 28th ive heard

Is it coming from Sydney and returning to Sydney or on its way to somewhere else such as Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne (or Kangaroo Island if it's doing short hops :p)

I wish I was still living in Adelaide. But I might go to Melbourne next month to see OQA's first service.

Arriving just as the Grand Final starts to heat up

Any update on a Perth visit?

QF A380 visiting MEL
 

dose anybody have any information on the time and dates the A380 will be visiting MEL?
it would be greatly appreciated as i would like to spend the day by the runway and watch her come in.

I believe Thursday October 2nd is one opportunity Melbourne spotters will have?

I think there are probably others too tho.

Rumour has it of a flyby of the MCG on Grand Final day

Rumour has it departing Adelaide 12.40 and arriving Melbourne 14.30. Plenty of time for a fly over The G.

thanks heaps for all your help.
i was just browsing through the QF website and i came across the live chat with Qantas Executive General Manager John Borghetti and he quoted this:

"The promotional visit to MEL is planned for 2 October - however the plane will also visit MEL as part of our pilot training flights - the first visit is planned for Thursday (25th)."

looks like ill try and go out on both days if i can :D

again thanks heaps, much appreciated

Lukas M - Thanks so much

lukas thats is great.
thanks so much.

dose anybody think MEL will open up their observation deck for any of these occasions?

I would quite like to see what flights are planned, including around Sydney - I assume it is not going to just sit in a hangar for the next 3 days?

Fantastic thanks Lukas, apparently the Air China new special livery A330 is also scheduled to come in on Thurs 15mins after the A380, plus the current forecast for that day is sunny and warm, so we might have a perfect storm of positives happening here Thurs morning!

Subject to change of course…

Why not? Possible ground crew training/cabin crew famil?

Sure is an ugly beast but the 380 hasnt looked better than in the QF colour scheme.

I have heard OQA will be in Perth on the morning of 14th October.....can anyone else confirm that?

Arrive 8.00am depart 12.00pm.

JBorghetti said yesterday in the chat thing that it would be a 10:30am landing?

However if its 8am...rejoice! I can be a little late for school ;)

If it gets away on time from Adelaide at 1230, it could do an MCG flyover only minutes before the start of the game.

Part of the pre game entertainment???

Definetly.

Even the grand prix flyover this year was only about 10 or so minutes before Race Start.

Is it still due into melbourne at 0730 tomorrow morning.

I'll be there at 7 :D

VH-OQA just taxying to depart Sydney now as QF6006.

Cheers
Mark

Are we there yet?
 

Someone should have confirmed arrival in MEL by now! Are our Southern brethren so tardy ...?

just went over my house as Qantas 6007 into sydney from Melbourne.

i just got home now from MEL and WOW!
what such a nice sight to see.
i got up bright and early this morning and the QF livery on the A380 looks stunning.
shame the camera is broken. hope the people i saw there today with their cameras took some nice shots that they could share with us.

Landed 34L not long ago. Id love to see some pics from MEL which im sure we will see in no time;)

Yep, just touched down on 34L and rolled all the way to the end. It will be good to see any photos from Melbourne

Arrived a little late into Melbourne was kept out to the west.Looked great on arrival and came in as QF6006.Shame that so many people only come out when a special occasion is happening and out there in all the weather conditions.

And it is taxiing to 34L again for take off.

Just took off and rotated right opposite the Mound so anyone there would have got a fabulous view. A SQ 747 was landing behind and almost caught up with it - it looked really slow at one point but it took off in time.

The A380 is on its way to Brisbane. QF6009. Arrival time 1132 as of now.

Eli mentioned to me that he'll be on 3 of the sectors today, practicing and briefing for the upcoming proving flights.

Cabin Safety staff are on board, so more training for FA's.

Currently off the coast at Yamba.

Cheers,

Noel

Qantas 6009 coming into runway 19 at brisbane listening to it on liveatc.net
and its down and landed contacting ground

Love to find out the takeoff and landing times for Sydney over the next few days....good photo ops on days like this.
