Evening all,

Looking at Ek sky Cargo's flight schedules it appears Sydney could be in luck. It is showing a SYD-HKG flight tomorrow operated by a B747-200 (I think it is supposed to say 747-400).

It is is only showing departure time of 1510. I do not know where it is coming from and what time. I am only providing info based on what the schedules are showing.

I do stand corrected on this. If it doesn't turn up I do apologise...

There are 2 Emirates cargo flights due tomorrow. EK4849 due in at 1440 from Dubai, and EK9822 due in at 1820 from Dubai-Singapore. As of a couple of hours ago, they were both listed as being B777's...

Unfortunately, EFG and EFD. EFG from VCBI, maybe that is the extra service UAE4849.

For what its worth, the 777 freighter has a wider main deck door.

Back when all the Trent 900's (so not EK relevant) were being inspected post -OQA incident, a number of new units arrived into Sydney for Qantas onboard 747-400 Freighters. It was extremely tight getting them out of the main deck door, just millimeters either side.

Will these freighters depart this evening? Weather is rather rubbish at the moment. Does anyone know what the second freighter is coming to.Sydney for? Horses for the races?

I would assume its in a QF hangar Nathan awaiting its new engine that should have been flown in today..... That is of course if the extra EK B77F was bringing an engine!
