The first EK 380 landed at DEL today on its second attempt after an aborted landing due to wind sheer.

Emirates has sent the 380 to test the facilities at the new Terminal 3 at Delhi airport. Emirates and Lufthansa both have applied for 380 services to Delhi.

Did Terminal 3 cope ?

Were there additional spectators to welcome the 380?

The rain lashed runway/taxi apron seems as if monsoon weather is in.

No additional spectators (barring some media folks), there was a small delay with the aerobridge for the upper deck but other than that everything was smooth.

And the monsoon has indeed set in. :)
