I’ve never travelled on a a380, so I don’t know how quickly it takes to disembark.
thanks
They will use 2 airbridges.
I use EK16 at least twice a year. As it is the LGW flight, it usually leaves on time and arrives a bit early (LHR flights seem to have more departure delays).
One hour 50 mins is ample time to connect, I have done 1 hour many times. In the unlikely event of the connection ending up very tight, there will be someone at the end of the airbridge with a sign with your next destination on it to help you negotiate the transfer. (I assume your next flight is also EK and on the same booking).
There is no need to stress in your scenario.
(if you are flying early September, let me know via DM and I can guest you into the LGW lounge).
