Looks like A6-EDK re-entered service on 1st July.
I believe from previous posts this was the last A380 that was sidelined for wing repairs.

9th B77W this year.
So it's B77W vs A380 9-1 in 2012.

It seems that in the course W12, EK will not only retire all of its 8 A343s but also two further A332 frames with A6-EKZ and A6-EAA to be withdrawn in October and December respectively, at the end of their current 12-year leases. Both aircraft have a 2-class layout, and after their withdrawal, EK will operate 24 A332s of which 19 are in a 3-class layout and just 5 in a 2-class configuration.

B77W A6-EGV, line 1031, now also made her first flight. That makes 2 B77Ws awaiting imminent delivery.
