Etihad A380 To Melbourne

[Stationair8]

Etihad are starting A380 ops into YMML in early July replacing the present B777, according to a well known Melbourne travel agency.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will commence daily A380 services between Abu Dhabi and Melbourne on 1 June 2016.

I guess this Etihad press release last October was a little ambitious then😏

I noticed they are still running a B777, into YMML as EY 462/3.
Or will that be phased out now the A380 is running?

All is revealed in the press release put up by C441 a few days ago.

Thanks for that B772, missed the schedule on the press release.

No shortage of seats to Abu Dhabi then!

They have only a further 2 A380s on order due next year, so chances would be slim as an Australia run takes 2 aircraft.

Yeah, was looking at Etihads orders the other day, surprised to see they have 2 and order and Qatar 4. Would like to see some more orders for them soon for some Aussie route
