Two Korean Air 747s at Auckland?

Two Korean Air 747s at Auckland?

Passing through Auckland yesterday evening at 1900 local night there were two Korean Air 747s parked nose to tail on the apron . . . seemed a little unusual. They both had gone by 0700 this morning. Does anyone know what was going on?

Sometime about a year or two ago, there were a number of KA 747s going to and from CS

Full of Amway salesmen or some such retail cult!

Winston apparently has a remote control device whereby he can bite the ass of any foreign airline bringing too many new immigrants into NZ, hence all the tailstrikes. "Don't come back now, ya hear"

They seem to do the busy season.

They both arrive late morning (about 45mins apart) and depart about 9pm that night.

Could have been a tech prob. but 2 KE flights on the ground all day is pretty usuall for this time of the year.

Think they serve different cities - one doe Incheon, the other Seoul - and one goes via somewhere like Nadi too.

Incheon and Seoul are the same.
Incheon is the new airport for Seoul ( if you count 3 years old as being new that is)
