It will use the A380 for two of its four daily flights to Sydney. The following schedule, with all timings local, will be followed by the carrier in Sydney:

Returning Sydney to a two-times-daily A380 schedule is equivalent to bringing it back to its regular schedule, as it was with Melbourne and Hong Kong. Cirium claims that it began operating with two daily flights in November 2010 and continued doing so until May 2014. From November 2016, the double daily was once more regularly run, with the final run occurring in February 2020.
