RE: British Airways To AKL A380 May 2016?
Doubtful BA would start flights to New Zealand again especially with an A380. If they did a 777 or 787 would be logical.
RE: British Airways To AKL A380 May 2016?
Umm almost lol. I very much doubt it certainly not an A380. I guess its possible with a 777/787 but its a long flight and requires a stop.

Strange, the first of April was several months ago. Seriously I can't see BA back here with their own aircraft, and certainly not with the A380. I wonder when CX commence A350 service to AKL. I think BA have their code on that sector. If someone wasn't paying attention they may have misread A350 and the codeshare, putting 2 & 2 together and coming up with A380 as the answer.
RE: British Airways To AKL A380 May 2016?
Haha good luck believing this. SYD would surely be upgraded to a 380 before any mention of AKL being announced.. Especially with a 380.
Maybe if they did a deal with AA and QF, they could start LHR-LAX-AKL.. But even then I'd be very skeptical.
Announced to be May 2016, CX's first long haul route with the 350 after a few months of proving around Asia.
FWIW, who on earth is Airlive.Net?

Thanks NZ107, in that case I'd almost put money on it being a codeshare on the CX A350 having been misread. When you read the linked article it's pretty clear that it was written by someone who is not the sharpest tool in the shed. There are enough typos for it to have been written by an anetter

The fact is they already codeshare on the route though.. And A340 is not too dissimilar to A350 and A380
Not saying there's any truth whatsoever behind this rumour! Gave me a good laugh though. Especially "co sharing".
