One of the ugliest aircraft ever to display the Air NZ livery...nice repaint though.
I believe Emirates call theirs the A180....pushes back then does a 180 right back onto blocks. Dispatch reliability is 65%.
Qantas call theirs the A 2 latey....always late. For some reason they cannot take a full load ex LA. I have unofficially heard that they have to carry around 40 tonne extra gas to cover the Equi time point depressurised gas between Honolulu and Sydney as no other airfields in between can handle an A380.....kinda skew balls the economics if this is the case.
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!
