Emirates' A380 service will begin on October 31 at Christchurch Airport.

Aviation enthusiasts will have the chance to view the world's largest passenger aircraft as it begins a daily service at Christchurch Airport.

Emirates announced in September it would become the first to offer regular scheduled services in an Airbus A380 out of the city.

Plane-spotters have been invited to view the first arrival of the plane as it lands at 1.45pm on October 31.

Chief aeronautical and commercial officer Justin Watson said the grassed area opposite the main runway would be set up to allow hundreds to witness, film and photograph the landing.

"We've dubbed it 'Plane-spotters' Park' because we are very aware of aviation enthusiast's excitement at this spectacular aircraft flying in here that day, and every day afterwards."

The "park" would open at 11am and close after the double-decker aircraft departed at 6.45pm, Watson said.

Parts of Avonhead and Harewood roads would be closed at the airport end to manage expected traffic flows.

He said the viewing area would be "the best area from which to see the plane".

"That viewing area will be accessed from Pound Rd and we'll have traffic management signs and staff on the roads leading to it to assist everyone to get to the area safely."
