It looks as though Asiana is planning A380 flights over the Christmas New Year period, followed by 744. Not sure where they'll park the A380 each day with the additional Emirates A380 which be there at this time. Hopefully, not at the pond.

Asiana Airlines in last week’s schedule update has further expanded planned Airbus A380 operation for Seoul Incheon – Sydney route, previously scheduled for 6 round-trip flights in November 2016. Latest schedule update now also shows the A380 will operate this route on daily basis, from 26DEC16 to 05FEB17 (ICN departure), replacing 777-200ER.

In addition, the airline has filed long-haul operation for Boeing 747-400 aircraft in 1Q17, as the 747 is scheduled to serve Sydney market from 06FEB17 to 26FEB17 (ICN departure). First Class cabin is not opened for A380 and Boeing 747 operating flights. Also, previously planned A380 service to Shanghai is cancelled as a result of this latest aircraft reassignment.

The pond isn't avbl for any A380 parking due to OLS issues.
