The Airbus A380 double-decker jumbo jet will be making its commercial debut in Canada this June at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
Emirates Airline will be adding the world's largest plane to its Toronto-Dubai route on June 1.

Will have to make the trip down at some point to see one this summer as I haven't got the chance to yet. Let me know if anyone else is thinking the same thing!

Being from Down the road from To, what are the arrival times and departure times of the A380.
This is worth some time off at work for photos.

Here's a couple of pictures of her arrival into YYZ. Hopefully some will get a chance to shoot her in better weather at some point.

Just came across this article from earlier this month. Emirates wanted to do Vancouver and Calgary as well but Transport Canada said 3 flights to Canada a week, and no more.

We were there for the initial arrival...standing on top of the hill on the West end of the airport. It came in directly over our head. It is surprisingly quiet for something that size... It was a thrill being there for the first one. (It was supposed to come in over Aviation World but a last second wind direction change caused a scramble to relocate due to a change in landing direction- end result was well worth the stress though) Also caught it's take off on Friday June 12th. We were driving North past the Wendys.....caught it dead center framing out the front window of the car. Awesome. Comes in Mon, Wed, Friday at 3:40 pm and leaves usually the same night at 9:40 pm. Well worth the drive.

P.S. We were there the weekend of the 12th for the Pearson Runway Run/Walk - [that is an opportunity for unique shots- walking beside an active runway at TO])
