Double Daily A380's to Auckland

As from 02 October Emirates upguaged their Dubai-Melbourne-Auckland-Melbourne-Dubai daily EK406/407 service from a Boeing 777-300ER to Airbus A380-800 thereby seeing two of their A380's parked at Auckland on a daily basis.
 
Today, 04 October, the airline operated their newest addition to the Airbus A380 fleet through Auckland on its first commercial outing with A6-EDY operating the EK406/407 service.  This aircraft, the 25th A380 delivered to Emirates and in a 14F/76J/399Y configuration, arrived at Dubai 01 October from Finkenwerder as EK7381 and closely followed another A380, A6-EDX also from Finkenwerder as EK7380.  We'll most likely not see A6-EDX "down under" as it features a 14F/76J/427Y configuration and does not have the same crew rest facilities as those deployed on -EDY.
