Some day, other airlines like Air France, Lufthansa, Korean Air and British Airways will start sending their Airbus A380-800 aircraft to Toronto. Until then, we have to settle with the 3:30-4:00PM arrival of the Emirates A380 that comes to town three days per week. We photographed A6-EUN while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on March 14, 2018. Photos taken with a Canon Rebel T6i DSLR camera.
