With only 1-A380- gate BA/Emirates will have to adjust their schedules, as in the Northern Winter BA arrives around 11:00 and Emirates at 11:30 and in the evening Emirates departs at 18:00 and 20:00, and BA at 17:30
We will see. Assuming that both airlines want to use A380 it may come down to who is the better negotiator leaving the other doing the Reg Varney.

I thought I read EK was going to 3x daily to Cape Town. Amazing if they could fill 3 x A380 but you never know.
