It seems that in the course W12, EK will not only retire all of its 8 A343s but also two further A332 frames with A6-EKZ and A6-EAA to be withdrawn in October and December respectively, at the end of their current 12-year leases. Both aircraft have a 2-class layout, and after their withdrawal, EK will operate 24 A332s of which 19 are in a 3-class layout and just 5 in a 2-class configuration.

EDV is just time for the launch of AMS flight tomorrow then. No crew rest needed for that route, but MEL in a couple of months will need an aircraft with crew rest.
