Emirates' first-ever full aircraft livery arrived in Sydney on December 1, marking the resumption of A380 services to Australia. Barry Brown, Emirates Divisional Vice President for Australasia said: “We are delighted to be able to increase capacity and services to Australia, and what better way to mark this milestone than with the arrival of an aircraft displaying our incredible Expo 2020 Dubai livery. Our signature A380 services are highly popular amongst travelers, and Australians are no exception.” Whether visiting Dubai or enjoying a quick stopover in our hub city before traveling to any of the more than 120 destinations in our global network, a visit to Expo 2020 Dubai is a unique experience not to be missed. We are proud to spread the message to visit the event and Australians can fly with us to enjoy unique benefits to make the most of their visit.” READ: WSPRnet explain READ: MH370: The extraordinary debris trail across the Indian Ocean  READ: MH370: chronology of major events  READ: Qatar Airways award-winning Qsuites the ultimate in privacy The Emirates Expo 2020 Dubai A380 is hard to miss with its bright blue, green, orange, pink, purple, and red paint design.
