An A380 dedicated update to the 2011/12 operating plan:
Effective 30 October 2011
EK302/303 DXB-PVG-DXB – upgrade to A380-800 on a Daily basis from the current 3x weekly
Effective 1 December 2011
EK097/098 DXB-FCO-DXB – aircraft upgrade from B777-300 to A380-800 (ULR version)
EK346/347 DXB-KUL-DXB – aircraft upgrade from B777-300ER to A380-800 (ULR version)
The above are all subject to government approval, not loaded into the reservation system yet and still subject to change.
There are some other smaller updates to the operating plan e.g. TUN and KRT both increasing to Daily, SEZ’s 2 nd frequency remaining at 4x weekly and not rising to the planned Daily service, all of which I have not outlined in detail.
EK406/407 DXB-MEL-AKL-MEL-DXB will also likely upgrade to the A380 by March 2012.
Sneak preview for 2012/13 operating plan: The new lighter A380s which will have more range are planned to be deployed on EK225/226 DXB-SFO-DXB and EK261/262 DXB-GRU-DXB. No firm dates yet.
Keep discovering - more interesting developments ahead.
As always, all info posted above subject to operational changes.
