Emirates Boeing 777-36N(ER) A6-ECC "Expo 2020 (Mobility/Blue) Livery" made another visit to Adelaide and replace usual Boeing 777-200LR

Emirates Boeing 777-36N(ER) A6-ECC arrived in Adelaide from Dubai (DXB) at 1950ACST as EK440. After resting in Adelaide for 2 hours, the aircraft departed back to Dubai Intl (DXB) at 2150ACST Runway 23 as EK441. This marked as A6-ECC second ever visit Adelaide with Expo 2020 Blue livery as well as the third time ever Emirates Boeing 777s with Expo Livery visit Adelaide. A6-ECC repainted in Expo 2020 Blue livery in September 2018. The last Emirates Boeing 777-300ER visit with Expo 2020 livery was back in January 2019 when A6-ECC made first ever visit with Expo 2020 Blue livery.

Emirates used to operate daily Adelaide Service with their Boeing 777-300ER but due to low demand and they are unable to continue operating with Boeing 777-300eR so they downgraded into the smaller version of Boeing 777-300ER which is the Boeing 777-200LR.

Luckily today, due to high demand of passenger going to Europe during the winter season in Australia so Emirates has upgraded today's flight, yesterday, 28/06/2019's and Wednesday's flight from their -200LR version to their -300ER version. Today is the last day of 3 particular days that Emirates have chosen to upgrade from -200LR version to -300ER version. Hopefully, Emirates will upgrade more flight with Boeing 777-300ER in the future.
