This is why I'm saying they can use the free 77L on MIA. Rumor has it saying (couple months ago) that Emirates will launch MIA in October. Right when DFW gets the A380.
It all makes sense.
MIA has to be the next US destination for Emirates. It makes sense. After all, Emirates mentioned MIA so many times. I guess we can expect something.
The B77L currently deployed to DFW will be used on one of the PER rotations starting on October 01, so at least the DFW frame will not be used to launch another US flight.
By the end of the year, the B77L flight program looks as follows
BOS
ORD
HND
PER
LYS
SEZ (2 daily)
DEL
There is enough spare capacity in the system for an additional Europe rotation, but not more than that.
As for the next US city, I would not rule Newark out.
