With the DAS starting in less than two weeks do any have predictions of what might happen regarding aircraft orders, airport announcements, routing, interiors, etc, etc?
I'm quite certain we'll see the 100th A380 arrival at the DAS. + of course new F

Speculative possible announcements:

- closer co-operation with FZ, possibly move to T3
- either 330neo, 350 or 787 orders

I'd go for 350 as it's larger and it may soften the blow if EK is out for the foreseeable time for any A380 orders...

T3... bus gates, right? I can't even imagine having that much more demand on T3's gates at peak times.

There was an article posted (i think this thread and I think by NOIR) that such a move is under consideration, as well as T1. Yes gates will be an issue

Noticed most aircraft already have an Expo 2020 logo just ahead of the front doors, behind the cockpit windows. The full livery looks cool, interested to see one in person

What's interesting is the delivery of these 787-10s will be for 2022 which a good indicator DWC expansion, EKs switch could be complete by then.

I'm sure EK could have gotten early delivery slots, but the delayed the delivery until the space/infrastructure was ready at DWC

I think it will be 737-MAX10 or 737-MAX9. They won't know for sure.
