There is an article here:

Subsequent to this, Victoria and Australian Federal Police are being criticised for not boarding MH128 for 90 minutes once it was on the ground back in MEL. One caller to radio 3Aw said the police must have been having an occupational health and safety meeting. Not a good look.

Separately, on Thursday 1 June 2017, EK404, the scheduled 0750 hours arrival ex SIN and previously DXB is about an hour late. The A380 is A6-EOU.

EK406 (early morning 0710 hours MEL - AKL, A380 A6-EDA) was airborne at 0815 hours so arrival should be at about 1336, 51 minutes late.

 

[Melburnian1]

[Melburnian1]

The 0710 hours MEL - AKL has a highly variable punctuality record as its performance depends on whether the first sector departs DXB at anything close to time. On Monday 26 June, A380 A6-EEO took off at 0843 hours so arrival is predicted at 1334, 49 minutes behind schedule.
