Can anyone confirm whether A6-EQH has now also been fitted with Starlink?
It was sitting in front of EK Engineering Hangar C for the past two days and is about to fly to KWI.
For reference QR was able to perform a Starlink refit on a B77W in ~9.5 hours.
A6-EPF flew its first rotation with Starlink to DUB yesterday and is currently returning to DXB.

Noticed long-stored A6-EDR was undergoing an idle run at DWC this morning, its transponder was active on flightradar. After a long pause in aircraft returning from DWC, looks like we might be about to see the next A380 do just that.

The first of the converted 3-class (J/W/Y) A380s appear to be loaded in the schedules from June onwards, indicating conversions taking place starting May. The economy class cabin on the upper-deck will be converted into the new premium economy cabin. All routes except CPH will gradually receive the refurbished frames between June and October 2026.
I would guess the reason we are not seeing CPH loaded with the new cabin is that the A380 on the route will be replaced with a double daily frequency of another aircraft type. As we had previously seen, a tentative schedule for EK153/154 was published for summer 2025 that was a late afternoon departure ex-DXB.
