The non-stop Auckland flight was previously operated by a Boeing 777-200LR, while the Christchurch flight was operated by a 777-300ER and also stopped in Bangkok en route to Sydney and Christchurch.

 

The Bangkok stop will now be added onto the Dubai-Sydney-Auckland route.

 

The airline now uses the A380 for all five of its daily flights to New Zealand. Apart from the three above, it also flies from Dubai to Auckland via Brisbane and Melbourne.

 

The schedule for the non-stop Auckland, one-stop Christchurch and two-stop Auckland flights is as follows.
