None due in the next few weeks. Deliveries will be at a steady rate of about 1 every 2 weeks from June to the end of the year. And all 3 class LR for the foreseeable future.

LR as opposed to ULR? Want to confirm the terminology. Will these new birds have the crew rests or no?
Seems like the ULR ones are of the older variety, although old is probably 5 years at the newest.

EAR returned to service after 6 days of maintenance on 14/5 and operated a flight to Mashhad yesterday. EMT and EMH both entered DXB maintenance over 2 weeks ago, however most 777-300s have recently undergone maintenance of between 16 to 18 days over the last year and returned to service. My guess is that EMH is being stripped down while EMT is undergoing scheduled heavy maintenance.
