I think that should be 3 x B772 and 6 x B772ER and as of yesterday, all 8 A343s were still operating, whereas the active A332 fleet is down to 24.

I guess A6-ENA is a two class version C42 Y385.....
EK will open a few new routes with the 77E like a third flight to CGK and MNL.
CPH, SGN,CMB/SIN, DAR will also change to the 77E.
So, I think the 77E fleet will get a few new frames....

EK Source is also saying the ENA is in C42/Y386 config which makes sense for the reasons posted above.
In regards to 340-300 operations, ERR operated today's 107 service to Malta and ERQ went to Athens so they have definitely not be withdrawn and they still seem to be all required.

Regarding A332 and A343 there will be a lot of a/c leavings in the coming weeks/months. Numbers will possibly change at frequent intervals.

If you're referring to Malta, the recent loads look nearly full or completely full going there, and about 50-70% full coming back, so I don't think its a reason to say the route isn't performing at all. Or if you're referring to Athens, the loads both ways there are about 70-80%. So neither route is under performing in the off season in my opinion. Both routes are probably supplemented with cargo.

Time for us to start looking forward to the A350-xxx 
So how many has EK ordered and what are the seating configurations they have asked for? And when do you think we will see the first one in service?

The next B77W, A6-ENB, is number 1,055 off the line at PAE and should have its first flight any time now for delivery sometime in the second half of November.

Sorry, not sure I understand:
- Moscow: 1 existing daily flight goes A380. OK
- Paris: 1 of the existing daily flights goes A380. OK
. 2 for New York: they have 2 daily flights, one already operated by A380. So that should only be 1 of the 2 daily flights going to A380, right? Or are they adding 2 daily New York flights on A380 on top of the existing 1 daily A380 flight?
