EK A380 A6-EOP movements

[Fishaman]

Not sure where to put this for an answer.
Since the intro of the A380 on EK39/40 @ BHX the aircraft used on each flight has been A6-EOP, intrigued by this I have checked it's other movements since it's affection with BHX has developed and it seems that BHX is the only destination she flies on currently apart from a hop to DWC after arriving back at DXB after each sector is completed but no flight shown back to DXB from DWC for the next BHX hop.
Why would the aircraft fly to DWC after every flight?

Probably an FR24 error. Notice the flight number is EK152, when you Google it it reveals that it's the flight number for Copenhagen, one of the other few destinations to use the 2-class A380.

Why would the aircraft fly to DWC after every flight?I can't see any evidence that it goes to DWC - where are you getting your information from ?

Certainly A6-AOP has a liking for BHX and hasn`t been anywhere else
since it`s fun at Manchester with the computer hiccup and divert to Heathrow, all the flights shown to DWC never seem to have happened

As well as BHX, the aircraft in question has operated mainly to/from BKK, KUL, CPH and MAN since delivery in November.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I was unaware it was the Bus that needed longer tarmac @ MAN!

Have you tried using the 'Play' button - the DXB to DWC 'flights' all consist of the aircraft taxiing around DXB :ugh:

[xtypeman]

Try flight aware and its flight tracking.

It seems FR24 has a lot of rough edges especially when the aircraft is on the ground. The other day I watched the above a/c take off backwards then when airborne it righted itself.

I often track a particular flight to Egypt and when it disappears off the screen over Cairo I don't see it again. So perhaps coverage in certain areas is non existent.

Sorry to butt in but my son in law flew the EK39 into BHX this morning and is desperate to find some photos of the landing as it was his first time into BHX - can anyone help?
