From 01Oct13 all Emirates flights to Auckland will be operated by an Airbus A380. Qantas operates double daily A380 services from Dubai to Australia with connections to over 100 flights per week to New Zealand.

Emirates’ trans-Tasman services are operated by Airbus A380 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, while Qantas’ services are operated by a dedicated fleet of next generation Boeing 737-800s.
