Emirates to add second daily A380 service to Perth from 1 August 2016

1. Looks like the loadings for the morning flights EK424 and return EK425 have not been as expected as it’s back to a 777 from early Feb’17.

2. A travel agent friend recently told me that SQ might substitute an A333 orB777 for an A380.
   No idea when, but their flights to PER are always well subscribed.

   1. In the past, SQ have increased capacity on Perth services through additional flights using 777-200 or A330, or have substituted larger 777-300s onto the current schedule.
      It is therefore unlikely that Perth will see SQ A380s for a while yet, but SQ could prove me wrong.

3. Shame about the late arrival and early departure.

   Would have been good to see this addition during the day.

   1. Hi Craig,
      EK425 departs Perth during early daylight hours (when the days are long enough in summer), and the evening EK420 flight also arrives in daylight.

      1. Does this mean that in t he shorter days of winter this plane will have a later departure time.

         1. Hi Roberta,
            That is something that you would need to check with Emirates.

4. This is the worst news for Perth regarding the airport since a long time. The A-380 is the worst noise offender that makes window glazing vibrate and children cry up to 12 km from the airport each night around 10.45 pm. So we will now have the same problem at 6 am in the middle of the FIFO old horror planes each morning. Why does Perth Airport think they can get away with that ?thecall for a night time curfew will get louder. At least there will be the possibility to sleep then as the second worst offender the A-340 SA-281 ‘Springbok’ from South African Airlines will not bother us at 0:30 anymore.
   It becomes impossible to live in a radius of 10 km around the airport
