Just a little update on the A380s.

A6-EEF - A6-EEM (8 aircraft) are all supposed to be ULR configured.
A6-EEN is supposed to be LR configured.

Wonder if any of the ULR configured aircraft will have the new wing twist with the greater MTOW?

That's good for 4 ULH route upgauges at least, but some of these aircraft may first have to cater for the other frames in the fleet as they go in for the planned wing fix. I'd expect Bribane to be among the routes to be upgauged.
