Remarks:Emirates 216 rotates long for the 18 hour haul through to Dubai. Previously a 772LR flight the service has in recent months been upgraded to 77W ops
Remarks:Dynasty 52 departs in the soft evening light for Taipei via Sydney. First time I have shot this bird departing. Departure shots are only possible when the service routes through Sydney, routings through Brisbane leave late at night.
Remarks:LAN 801 arrives from Santiago some 16 hours late in true LAN fashion. As a result the AKL-SYD-AKL rotation was cancelled and pax ferried on Air New Zealand flights. This is not uncommon as Tim Bowrey has discovered in the past.
