A380 Movements - Australia
A380 to visit Adelaide on September 27 for only 25 minutes, then October 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17, with some of those dates having two visits a day.
I'll be in Adelaide on October 4 and 5, so if anyone has further information of the A380's arrival/departure times on those dates it would be much appreciated.

Super jumbo's first Adelaide pit stop

THE world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, will make its first visit to Adelaide next week – staying long enough to cool its brakes.
The first Qantas A380 is expected to arrive in Sydney on Sunday morning and land at Adelaide Airport on Saturday, September 27. The giant airliner is due to land at 12.15pm that day, park on the tarmac while its brakes cool and pilots re-set its flight computer, and depart shortly after at 12.40pm.
The Qantas A380 is listed to make a further 14 flights through Adelaide Airport after that – all as part of crew training flights before the plane goes into service later in October.
Its landing and take-off can be viewed from inside the main passenger terminal.
Photographers can get a good view from the observation area at the western end of the main runway, by Tapleys Hill Rd.
The A380 is due back in Adelaide on October 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17, some of those dates having two visits a day.
Neither Qantas or Singapore Airlines – which was the first to bring the A380 into service – have plans for regular services to Adelaide, the super jumbo being significantly larger than the Boeing 747.
