Aircraft is A6-EDA.
Currently holding 19,000 feet, heading towards Mudgee, after a circle of Newcastle, still dumping fuel.

Why didn't Airbus build into the A380's a dump valve, instead of wasting time flying around to burn of the fuel?

Also, given that EK413 has declared Pan, are they still allowed to land after Curfew? If so, what conditions are placed on the Pilot? ie Reverse Thrust?
