Thanks umedha ayya for sharing the superb pictures from HRI.

I can see FlyDubai just added HRI to their website. Do you have any information what the passenger-load-factor was like on maiden Air Arabia and FlyDubai flights to HRI ?

It looks like another UL aircraft landed before 4R-ADG, today. I can see the tail of UL aircraft in the tarmac while water salute take place for 4R-ADG.

Are you kidding...never mind A380; EK never mention that it is going to operate schedule or charter service to HRI

It would be quite interesting if the aircraft was a B77W
