Im guessing QF do the fastest turnarounds of anyone in DXB where the same aircraft operates 2 legs of the same flight number (i.e. SYD-LHR turning around in DXB).
From my quick look at the flight timings it appears to be on the ground for only 90 minutes which seems like a remarkably quick turnaround? (00:35 - 2:05?). Im guessing it would take at LEAST 20+ minutes to disembark all passengers and crew, even with 3 bridges, and then surely at least 45 minutes to remove all rubbish, clean and then restock, which only leaves 25 minutes for new crew to enter and board all passengers, which, again, seems very ambitious given how early they start boarding A380s in MEL and SYD. And during this time they also need to remove some baggage, load others, remove and restock F&B carts, refuel, safety checks etc.
Is this how it works? Do they do a full clean and restock? Do I have my times wrong? I would have thought a standard comfortable A380 turnaround would be 3 hours - 1 hour each for disembarking, cleaning/restocking and boarding.
Does anyone know how many cleaners they have per A380 turnaround in DXB or MEL/SYD?
