Default Emirates Axes Sydney-Auckland Airbus A380 Flights

From Australian Business Traveller

Quote:
Emirates will cancel its daily Airbus A380 flights between Sydney and Auckland from July 13 2017, with the Gulf carrier saying the superjumbo service is being retired "to optimise capacity on this route in line with changes in demand."
In its place Qantas will upgrade four daily Sydney-Auckland services – QF140/146 and QF143/149 – from Boeing 737s to Airbus A330s sporting the airline's highly-regarded Business Suite seats at the pointy end.

It will be interesting to see if the Dubai-Sydney schedules change time wise for maximum utilisation of the aircraft.
