EK got its first A380 in 2008, with 12 year cycle they need replacements in 2020.

Assuming it takes one a month for next four years, it will have close to 130xA380s before first one retires in 2020.

Also they had total only 20 until 2011(avg 5/yr), so substantial retirements start only in 2024.

Lot of planes, Timmy, lot of planes.
