update 01/05/2016 Current A380-destinations served by ETD from AUH (AUH not included): 4 LHR--SYD--JFK--BOM- Fabien -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Couldn't find a thread on regarding on Etihad Airways A380 destinations, So I thought I would make a new one According to CAPA, looks like Etihad will receive there first A380 in late 2014 next year. Also the first routes for EY A380 will be to LHR, JFK SYD and MEL. centreforaviation.com/news/iata-agm-2013-etihad-plans-to-start-a380-and-787-deliveries-in-late-2014-235281Looking forward to see there A380. In my opinion, I think they might receive there A380 perhaps in September October next year??

I hope that, after their investment in India, Etihad will cajole authorities into opening the country to the whalejet.

Etihad A380s will be operated to London, New York, Sydney and Melbourne.

I think that covers all 10 frames in order (3 frames for each Sydney, Melbourne and New York. Plus 1 for London)

I think there is only a need of 2 aircraft for a daily service to Australia and to NY... Taking 6 of the 10 on order, are left 4 for London and elsewhere?... Fabien

I think there is only a need of 2 aircraft for a daily service to Australia and to NY... Taking 6 of the 10 on order, are left 4 for London and elsewhere?... Fabien Is there anyone on the forum with knowledge about how airlines actually calculate the need? On EY's current timetable, the aircraft operating the routes to MEL, SYD and JFK all are back home at AUH within less than 36 hours. The timetable would actually allow a combined use of just three aircraft for the route to MEL or SYD AND one of its two daily services to JFK, with ground times in AUH of at least about 2,5 hours. I looked up on fr24 how EK's A380s are used. Some of them are continously in Service for at least ten days without staying at DXB for more than just a few hours. But I suppose that once every while each aircraft has to stay "home" a little bit longer. How often and for how long would that be?
