I'm headed out on EK073 in April (F on A380) however, seems to be alot of talk about equipment being changed last minute and it has been occuring recently. I booked this route due to the A380 (I planned this trip mostly on A/C type and class of travel), and not having enough flights on this type!

Question is, it seems that in December it was shifted to a 773 and also on Jan 11th this year, which to me is a huge downgrade. I know equipment changes occur but, is this something expected to re-occur more often on this sector?

Thanks
The A380's are subject to checks at the moment due to the cracks found in the wings. This is leading to substitutions (as mrtdxb found).

However, this should be finished well before April, so you should be OK.
