Emirates A380-800 A6-EDV

We've for the most part conceded defeat on trying to keep a track of first time visits for commercial airliners to New Zealand thanks to the proliferation of new carriers to our shores and for anyone interested in tracking such things there is ample on-line resource to find such information.

However, for the record, Emirates operated an additional service through Auckland 26 December following the cancellation Christmas Day of their EK434/435 service from/to Brisbane. Airbus A380-800 A6-EDV, configured with 14F, 76J and 427Y seats, was positioned to Brisbane from Bangkok at EK2549 and then operated EK434D to Auckland returning three hours later to Brisbane as EK435D. Its middle of the day service saw Auckland host five A380's during the course of the day with fellow Emirates aircraft A6-EDE, A6-EDN and A6-EEL along with Singapore Airlines 9V-SKI.
