EDV on December 27 is replacing a stranded 777 This might be the first time in the world where a rescue A380 is used for a broken smaller plane?.... Also shows some extra A380-capacity at the moment, with some new destinations not to start until a few months (01/03/16)...

But in some cases a larger replacement plane can make sense in that it can be used to replace the regular scheduled aircraft arriving for a later flight to pick up any stranded passengers that couldn't be rebooked onto other flights.

Was this the first time a LR A380 (A6-EDV) has been down under to New Zealand??
My first post by the way....
