It seems that EK is operating with 234 active passenger fleet frames at any one time to meet the current schedule.

Out of 103 A380 frames 2 are in storage and 3 are in maintenance
All 777-200LR frames are currently operating though they will be rotated through maintenance one by one between now and December for the new 2 class seating to be installed
Out of 137 777-300ER frames 11 are currently in storage and 2 are in maintenance
Out of 3 777-300 frames 2 are left in active service with 1 currently in storage

It seems that B77W A6-EBP (a 2-class frame) will soon join Rossya Airlines....like her sisters A6-EBA and A6-EBL.

Yes, may be she is just doing some maintenance work.....But I know that EBP together with EBS and EBT are scheduled to join Rossya Airlines....If the plans have changed, what is also a possibility, I am not sure.

Yes, 2 777-300s in active service (EMV and EMX) with 1 (EMT) in DWC storage. EMQ and EMR are being stripped down at DXB maintenance after being withdrawn from service.

As a side note A6-EDW just returned from maintenance so there are currently 125 active pax aircraft. EK currently has a lot of fleet flexibility with all the parked aircraft and could conceivably add 20 aircraft to the active fleet before calendar year end if they had the need and available crews.

I believe A6-EBC is also scheduled to depart for Russia as well, either with Rossiya or VIM.

As for VIM, well they went bankrupt so no planes are going there. A6-EBD did and that's lying in storage at AUH apparently.

Thanks for the info. Somewhere I saw that EBC was being returned as well... I guess it's a fluid situation..

"Very interesting indeed. It would be great to get a clearer understanding of the specific codes and color coding being used..."

Looking at April 18, we see:

1 773L < 777/300 A6-EMR
3 77WP < 777/300ER with crew rest area: A6-ECP, A6-ECT, A6-EGF
7 77WR < 777/300ER without crew rest area: A6-EBB, EBI, EGJ, EGO, EGS, EGZ, ENT and ENU....so, we have 8 frames stead 7....maybe the pic ist old?
1 388U < A380 with crew rest area: A6-EDB

EBD went to VIM, which went bankrupt, so EBD was apparently returned to EK. According to FR24, it has been in Moscow since early March.
EBD was leased by EK so if anything it went back to the lessor, not EK.

It's not just flight cutbacks to the US, but slower than anticipated growth systemwide, which isn't helped by the crew shortage.

Thanks for the chart clarifications

It was ZRHMD who explained the chart, however I have a question.

On the chart it shows 13 77Ws stored in May 2018 and then 10 stored in June 2018.
Does this mean that total 77Ws stored will be 23 or that 3 will return to service?

I read a blog post and that claims that according to this chart EK will have 40+ aircraft in storage. Surely the crew shortages can't be that bad? I was under the impression that the chart is showing aircraft cycling in and out of storage and not new aircraft being stored every month.

[MENTION=260930]ZRHMD11[/MENTION] what's your take on this?
Correct, cycling in and out. May will see the most frames at any one time stored (20), August and September the least at any one time (6) over the next few months.
