Saw A6-EQP make two approaches down to about 500 ft AGL at KIDA around 1700 local today. I assume she was down from KPAE for a spin before going in service.

Any idea whether they are 3 or 2 class?

388Q and 388U used for ULR such as LAX, JFK, IAD etc while 388L used for LR such as ZRH, MXP, SIN etc. Note: for the 2 class A380 coded 388J or 388? was similar to 388L which is a LR jets.

Good Morning all, a man just handed a picture of A6-EBV which was now in Azur Air that I found in his IG today. This livery must be different compared to VQ-BZY.

Yeah me too, at least can see only the livery on this plane. One thing is that this 2 class 777 are one of the 9 77W due to returned once it's leasing from AerCap has expired. The history chart of EK's 77W's retirements/expiry are A6-EBD expired in May 2017. A6-EBA and EBL has expired last March, A6-EBP has expired last June, A6-EBS and EBT has expired last September and A6-EBV has expired earlier this month. So these 777 must have already ended it's 12-13 years life with Emirates and flies for another airline e.g Rossiya takes a former A6-EBA, EBL, EBP, EBS, EBT and Azur Air takes former A6-EBD, EBV. Another is EBF and EBH which will be retired around 2019 or so. But I don't know what's going to be the fate of EBX, EBZ and ECB (all 2007 made) even the 15 of the 3 class 77W's with ICE after these 9 were already completely retired but it seems it will see another year of flying until probably the 777X arrives.

Well today is the start of October 28, I see that A6-EOC is operating for Osaka Inaugural. EOC is the first A380 wearing the Blue EXPO 2020 livery.

Also, B777-300ER (A6-ENX) went into storage at DWC in August, and still hasn't returned yet. It's the only 300ER that's still parked there.
And EMX might be in the maintenance now or position to DWC? According to CX's result it says that these 2 773 will be flying for them in 2019. Also, EGO is now in the maintenance and it may take 2 weeks there.

It's the post where there is an attempted explanation of the different A30 types.

I wish EK didn't remove the 1000th 777 special livery from EGO.
Yeah that 1000th 777 special livery is one of the best.
