Default Ek0419 Syd Akl

Hi Everyone,

I'm booked on EK0419 Emirates SYD > AKL ON THE 28th July, from what i've been able to find out this flight usually is either an A340 or a 777, is there anyway to find out which aircraft will be used on this day?

Also, i'm curious as to where the aircraft is coming from as it seems to be an unusual route for Emirates to be doing even though they've been doing it for a few years.

Adam

My understanding is that the route is a 777 these days, having flown Dubai-Bangkok-Sydney-Auckland.

It used to be the A345 which had flown Dubai-Sydney, but that plane now goes to Christchurch.

Regards

Kent

Adam,

According to the EK booking site - EK419 will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER

as far as I am aware - EK419 DXB-BKK-SYD-AKL is always a B773ER.
the A345 doing DXB-SYD-CHC is the A345... as mentioned previously..

I did arrivals for these flights before in the airport. 419 sometimes come in late from BKK (probably due to congestion at BKK airport and the long queue to takeoff?)
