Since Emirates switched up their Dubai to Toronto schedule, it takes getting out of bed early to photograph their Airbus A380-800 aircraft like A6-EUI. They used to show up between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. Now, the arrival time is usually between 8 and 9 in the morning.
We photographed this A388 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on June 9, 2019.
