inaugural emirates a380 flight from auckland

Today was a historical day for aviation in New Zealand as Auckland International Airport welcomed the first A380 commercial service to arrive in the country, serviced by Emirates.


Using the new international terminal pier at Auckland International Airport, the Emirates A380 had arrived from Dubai via Sydney as EK412 and was scheduled to leave on the return leg as EK413 at 1845.

There was an hour delay in boarding, as VIP's on the inbound EK412 had a media presentation in The Emirates Lounge as well as being whisked away to a local vineyard, arriving late back to the airport.

I was lucky enough to have a spare seat next to me, which seemed to be one of the only spare seats on the flight. The onboard cameras were definately fun to watch!
