-Bar redesign on the 380 finalized.
-New first class soon to be introduced.
-Remain 10 abreast on the 380.

If they could put it by UL1 (although aft a bit so there isn't too much of a noise issue into F) and have some J service start there, that would do wonders for the service efficiency in J on an A380, imho.

Arab Center for Engineering Studies (ACES) has been awarded a major geotechnical investigation contract for the Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai.
The soil investigation works are being carried out for the expansion of the existing airport facilities in view of the forthcoming Expo 2020 in Dubai.
The development comprises construction of an additional terminal building, concourses and runways, and other ancillary structures.
The scope of work includes drilling of 600 boreholes to depths ranging from 15m to 50m, involving a total of more than 12,000 linear metres besides excavation of 28 trial pits.

1/ The JCL loos will still be aft ? Is it really a good thing that the bar and the loos are separated ?
2/ Having two JCL galleys (that's your idea right ?) would increase total galley space and won't help stock optimization of dishes. No ?

With the overlap between EK F and J catering (and wines), I don't think a combined F/J galley with bar at the front will cause too much inefficiency. You could always repurpose the front F bar that is hardly used for additional F only storage.
