Flightradar site shows it operated on 9th June and back 11th June.
I was in Cuba a few years back, and I met several medical tourists to Cuba from Angola who had taken the flight. I was in Angola before and after my visit to Cuba, and we hosted several Cuban doctors at the site I was working, who also took the flight. Nevertheless, between the two places, I flew EK and AeroMexico the long way around ;-)

B77L should be used for new destinations in the US (DTW, PHL, ATL, CLT, MIA, DEN, PHX, LAS...) as well as MEX (don't know if possible due to altitude), PTY (code-share with Copa Airlines), BOG, maybe one day when they have traffic rights to YVR, YYC, YUL along with nonstop DXB-New Zealand or Sapporo, Fukuoka, Pusan, Hanoi

It looks like PHL will be the next US destination:

PHL will be 11th US destination

As the vitriolic words continue to pass between the USB3 (American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines) and MEB3 (Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways), the latter seem hell bent on launching plenty of new US routes, just to prove their point in the rhetoric still further, with Emirates’ boss suggesting that Philadelphia will be its 11th US destination. The leak occurred during a press briefing being held last week by Emirates’ President Tim Clark, who let it slip that the airline was in talks with airport and municipal leaders in Philadelphia to make the city its next US destination. Clark was speaking at National Press Club in Washington, where he unveiled a 400-page rebuttal of the allegations made by the USB3 that Emirates is unfairly subsidised by the Government of Dubai and used its financial positions to expand in the US at the expense of the three US carriers.

Any additional ways to access more EK-F/J travels is a good thing. ^

A380 to DUB from March 2016
MEX

MEX
Mexico City is not served by any of the MEB3 carriers, a surprise as it is the only city in the world’s top 10 most populated not to be served by Emirates, Etihad Airways or Qatar Airways. With 11 million international passengers and the potential domestic connectivity market of 22 million, surely these numbers will be significant enough for one of the MEB3 to take the plunge at some point and open operations to Mexico City.
No Asian carriers are present at Mexico City Airport either. The only connections to the continent are flown by Aeromexico, which operates services to Shanghai Pudong and Tokyo Narita

There's a 777 en-route DXB to STN this evening. In the words of an all too frequent poster... let the speculation begin! (Or not)
