One of an unfathomable number of Airbus A380-800 aircraft in the Emirates fleet, A6-EUJ has been flying for the airline since 2016. We photographed this double decker on December 12, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

A6-EUJ
A6-EUJ performed its first flight on June 14, 2016 and entered service for Emirates Airlines on November 20, 2016. This Airbus A380-861 is configured for a maximum total of 516 passengers. There are 14 seats in first class, 76 more in business class and 426 economy class seats. This is currently one of 108 A388 airliners in the Emirates fleet with 54 more on order.
On December 16, 2017, the A388 was flying from Dubai to Sao Paulo, Brazil. The initial climb was halted at 6,000 feet after issues with the number one engine. The engine was shut down, fuel was dumped and the aircraft diverted safely back to Dubai. A replacement was brought in and this airplane remained on the ground for several days following the incident.
Airbus A380-800
The Airbus A380-800 performed its maiden flight on April 27, 2005 and was introduced in October, 2007 with launch customer Singapore Airlines. Currently, there are 223 A388 aircraft in service around the world as of April, 2018 with 13 different airlines (These numbers have drastically changed due to COVID-19. We’ll wait until the carnage is over before updating…).
The Airplane is 73 metres or 239 feet in length. This is actually three feet shorter than the Boeing 777-300ER. The wingspan is 80 metres or 262 feet while the height at the tail is 24 metres or 79 feet. The flight range is 15,200 kilometres.
Emirates Airlines
Headquartered in Garhoud, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the airline is owned by the Government of Dubai. Emirates was founded and commenced operations in 1985. The airline has a fleet of over 260 aircraft, led by the Airbus A380-800, flying to over 140 destinations worldwide. Emirates flies nothing smaller than the Boeing 777-200LR. They are the world’s largest operator of both the A388 and Boeing 777-300ER.
