3 A380's at Brisbane

[Oakape]

Does anyone know why there were 3 A380's belonging to a large ME carrier in Brisbane in the early evening of the 9th? One was parked on the freight apron, one had just pulled up at gate 75 & the 3rd one landed as we were taxing out. The landing one was 435. Just curious.

I think the link provided was to a site PPrune does not like. That site has an explanation -
(I cant quote the site or I get the ******* treatment too! Begins with b and ends in t.)

A6-EDP,A6-EDO,A6-EDM were all in this evening.

A6-EDP operating AKL-BNE last evening failed to depart BNE to DXB and remains here as at 1915 hrs this evening.
A6-EDM arrived around 6pm from DXB this evening as EK 3434 the replacement aircraft.
A6-EDO operated tonight's AKL-BNE-DXB service arriving around 1900 hrs as EK 435.This is the first time 3 Emirates A380 aircraft have been on the deck at BNE at once.

Probably picking up some very expensive horses. Magic millions on the Gold Coast.

They use their 777 freighters for that.
