The info loaded into the GDS is incorrect. The primary schedule system doesn't have this loaded. I think the info in GDS is more likely stale info from previous schedules which are no longer in force. For example GDS for Summer 2011 still reflects EK733/734 as being operated by A345 - which is clearly not the case. Also, there are no available A380s to mount an additional A380 daily rotation (unless the planned upgrade to PVG in Jan 2011 doesn't happen). The first 2011 A380 delivery is not until end of September. The reinstatement of EK344/345 to KUL is possible, but KUL could also get an update to A380 to one of its flights instead.

Here's a sneak peek of some selected items for the 2011/12 operating plan (all subject to change)
-EK085/086 DXB-ZRH-DXB aircraft upgrade from B772 to B77W (Suites)
-EK147/148 DXB-AMS-DXB aircraft upgrade to daily B77W (Suites)
-EK035/036 DXB-NCL-DXB aircraft upgrade from A332 to B772
-2nd dailies planned for SFO and GLA. Also 3rd daily for MAN in the draft.
-A380 could be placed on EK045/046 DXB-FRA-DXB and EK059/060 DXB-HAM-DXB subject to government approval.

Remember the 2011/12 operating plan is far from finalised and subject to a lot of changes to come.

Be patient, lot of interesting news will be unveiled in coming months.
