Nov. 28: A380 return visit to LAX

According to the Daily Breeze, the A380 will make a return visit to LAX at 2:00pm on November 28. The A380 will land on the new 200 foot wide Runway 25 Left and make a gate compatability check at the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The A380 will fly to Australia on November 30th.

Qantas will be the first airline to fly the A380 to LAX with a flight from Melbourne, Australia in October 2006 (now a two month push back on the date). Qantas currently operates the Boeing 747-400 Extended Range on the LAX-Melbourne route. The 747-400ER gives Qantas the ability to fly non-stop in both directions on the route. It is likely that Qantas will replace all of the 747's on its LAX routes with A380's. Qantas flies from LAX to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in Australia; Auckland, New Zealand and to New York's JFK Airport. The LAX-JFK flight is open only to Qantas passengers flying to and from Sydney.
