Is A6-EVC a sign that things are getting back to normal? Most Emirates Airbus A380-800 aircraft remain grounded but this A388 is one of 13 that are currently in service. We photographed this one on August 22, 2020 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Often, since the start of COVID-19, the airline has sent two Boeing 777-300ER airliners instead.
