It seems that bringing SIN back in the picture as a way point to Europe (and generally every where else in Asia) is a plus. While Emirates certainly flew SIN-AUS they are not a one world carrier so that limits the options a little.

Am I missing a downside?
The MEL-DXB-LHR originally requires 2 hauls per 24 hours. However the new MEL-SIN rt up gauge only requires 1 haul. PER-LHR is on 789.

So there's one A380 missing from the currently announced schedule. Stay tuned.
