RE: Seasonal A380 etc flights
As has been posted previously, Korean Air and Asiana commence their NW A380 services to YSSY in a few weeks time.
Does anyone know if/when China Southern will be doing same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Etihad A380 that was scheduled to arrive last night was delayed and subsequently arrived just after 0600 this morning. It will depart later this morning. It's a rare oportunity to see it in the morning sun.
