Well, Concourse A has 20 air-bridge gates, Concourse B has 26 air-bridge gates and EK tend to use a good 10 air-bridge gates in Concourse C. This means in an ideal situation EK has access to 56 air-bridge gates at any one time. Given that roughly 40-50 EK flights depart DXB between 6-9am (the busiest rush) and taking into account arriving aircraft and turning the planes around, I think the chances of getting an air-bridge gate should be pretty high once Concourse A comes online fully.
