Why no 77L to Sydney?
EK has been pushing for extra flights into Sydney for God knows how long.

Now that EK is receiving its 77L planes that can fly nonstop DXB-SYD, why is it sending the 77L to GRU (and IAH)? Wouldn't it make sense to send the smaller A340-500 to South America at least at first, and then send the bigger B777-200LR to Australia? Are the flights to Australia limited by the number of seats EK can provide?

Cheers,
