No EK A380 At MAN Today
 

Just seen on TAS MAN Reports that a 777 replaced the A380 today.

Is this likely to happen again, will EK be rotating their aircraft and have the 777 do the lunchtime run more often?

Hope so then I can do cycle run up and see it.

Or was this a one off I missed:{:{

Thanks.

I think that has more to do wih the "cracks of the wing" they have found in some a 380 or they had a lite load.

Sounds logical but hope more 777s do that run as its awkward to get up to MAN later.

I believe the 777-300ER will be operating until at least Tuesday. It's because some of the A380s are being checked for cracks.

Right am up there Monday:ok::ok:

Thanks Sam:ok::ok:

EK-17 is 777 reg. A6-EBC today.

I have been told its Sat and Sun for next 3 weeks A380 rest of week

Yes lots of 380's sitting round DXB at mo and a few subs on 380 routes, mind you plenty still flying!

From a pal in DXB ATC

Thanks for that, saved me a trip up there tomorrow and we will make the trip on Saturday.


9 am get there and get the barmcakes in lol and cuppa tea:ok::ok::ok:

Mmmmmm NOT


Darn Airbus came in today running late and with an impressive short turn to final.


But still A380 and not my lovely 777:{:{:{:(


Boohoo:(


Oh well maybe next week, not that I'll get up to see it probably:(

Personally I hope you continue to be dissapointed on the EK17/18, there are 2 other flights

No daylight arrival of a EK 777 at the moment though... A330 in the am, and evening 777 arrives in the dark until the days get longer.
