2 Daily Emirates A380 to Kuala Lumpur from 1 July 2016

Recommended Posts

Russian visa is straightforward, just need invitation letter like Myanmar. And no need visa for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Managed to take the A380 for KUL-DXB and DXB-KUL leg. Awesome plane, especially when i manage to get the 1st row seats directly at the entrance when you board the plane.

 

Nice!

I think, presumably, their A380s went for check; in wake of production issue with wing cracks. EASA issued a bulletin few weeks back, asking all A380 operators to conduct checks.

I've noticed that EK346/EK347s have been 77Ws since ?

 

Would anyone happen to know why it's not an A380 anymore?

 

Many thanks in advance. :hi:

 

From the booking page, it is still showing the A380...

Prob those 380 wing checks. Needing to pull 380s off schedules, KUL is lower down the priority list compared to the likes of LHR.

EK A380 is no longer flying to KUL. :(

 

That was pretty short-lived :bad: , I thought EK could make it work here, I really hope it just temporary.. All 3 EK flights are now operated by B773.

.That leaves MH as the sole A380 operator in KUL starting June.

Is it confirmed by EK or is it a temporary measure till the wing checks are conducted thoroughly ?

 

I remember seeing an A380 sometime last week.

From what i can see, 2 class 777's have operated 20 of the last 29 EK347's, 9 of those occured with the 380. The interesting thing to note is that those 20 777 flights are not the last 20. The 777's came, went away, and came back again - I think it's related to those 380 wing crack inspections or whatever.

 

From a scheduling perspective - it's a 777 (they seem to alternate between 2 class 773's and 2 class 77W's) until March 31. After which it's back to 380.

EK has a number of A380s grounded due to the wing checks, this has brought back the B777s and the wing checks will continue till the next 2-3 years, and this will probably apply to MH's A380 as well, which could also go for checks sometime in 2015, unless it is alredy been fitted with the new parts.

Only deliveries from June/July 2012 will be spared the wing checks as the aircraft wwould already been fitted with the new parts.

Looks like A380 pulled from KUL? I had a flight booked in A380 and flight got changed to a 773ER. Can't seem to find any A380 flights in April..

 

Doesn't seem like it. I'm booked late april (you know the precise date Calvin - i pm'ed you earlier) and it's showing on Expertflyer and emirates' own site still as a 380.

Nothing less than inconsistent.

 

Got a round trip booking for late April returning early May. Both were supposed to be the A380 flights but every now and then, I find that both sectors keep changing from A380 to 773 to 77W and now it's back to A380.
