Its so sad that it seems that QR will never fly to GIG, as they just increased their offering to GRU to 3 daily. As much as I despise EKs 77W old biz, I cant justify adding 5 hours to my usual 30 hours-long flights to Asia. And Ive just read that EK will only have 50% of the fleet refurbished by the end of 2025...oh damn, "FLY BETTER" isnt it?
As you noted, they will only be able to have half of the fleet upgraded by the end of 2025. They obviously got a very late start on getting J class up to nearly modern standards, but what route(s) do you think they should pull the refurbished 77W's from to serve GIG/EZE until more planes are completed?
