A380 Visit to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne Latest News
Sydney, 10 November 2005
Qantas announced today a schedule for the visit to Australia of the
Airbus A380 between 12 and 16 November. The visit will coincide
with Qantas' 85th anniversary celebrations.
The Executive General Manager of Qantas, Mr John Borghetti, said
the aircraft would arrive in Brisbane on the morning of Saturday 12
November.
"We are continuing to work closely with Airbus on making this
historic event a reality," Mr Borghetti said.
While times are subject to change, the current schedule (local
times) for the A380's Australian visit is:
Saturday 12 November
* 8:00am Arrive Brisbane
Sunday 13 November
* 6:00am Depart Brisbane
* *8:30am Flyover Sydney Harbour for Qantas aerial photography
(weather permitting)
* 9:10am (approx) Arrive Sydney
Monday 14 November
* 11:15am Depart Sydney
* 12:30pm (approx) Arrive Melbourne
Tuesday 15 November
* 9:00am Depart Melbourne
* 10:00am (approx) Arrive Brisbane
Wednesday 16 November
* 2:00pm Depart Brisbane
Mr Borghetti said that the A380 had generated enormous levels of
interest in Europe and Qantas expected this to continue for the
aircraft's visit to each city.
"While both Qantas and Airbus are pleased that there is so much
interest in the A380, opportunities for members of the public to
view the aircraft will unfortunately be limited to arrival and
departure times.
"We are asking Qantas, Australian Airlines, QantasLink and Jetstar
customers to allow extra time for travel to their departure
airport, in case of congestion," Mr Borghetti said.
He said that people who were not travelling were advised to avoid
the airport vicinity to minimise congestion during the A380's visit
to each port.
"In Sydney, the aircraft will fly over the harbour on Sunday 15
November*, with local vantage points providing excellent
opportunities to view the aircraft inflight," Mr Borghetti
said.
Qantas was the first airline to sign a contract for the A380 and
will take delivery of the first of its 12 aircraft in April
2007.
* Note the aircraft will pass over Sydney Harbour from north to
south and east of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 2100 feet and be
accompanied by a small jet that will be undertaking aerial filming.
This will take place as many as three times. The flyover will
provide excellent opportunities for members of the public to view
the aircraft.
