As long as EK don't have any traffic rights / gov. approval they can't.

If yes, you'll find the announcement here:

First I have heard - I would have thought the loads would need to increase dramatically before any upgauge

First sign of this happening, would be when AKL Airport start upgrading a third gate to be A380 compliant

Yes, they will installed another double dual jetbridge. I didn't have any source of this. I think they already have 2 A380 gates, but not third A380 gate.

EK MXP-JFK from October 1st

DUBAI, U.A.E., 8th April 2013: Connecting North America and mainland Europe, Emirates will launch a direct service between Milan and New York, the airline’s only trans-Atlantic service, from 1st October 2013.

Customers will be able to seamlessly connect from points all over the U.S., including the West Coast, taking advantage of Emirates’ partnership with JetBlue, and across Europe, maximizing the airline’s frequent flyer partnership with easyJet.

Operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, the flight will be an extension of one of Emirates’ existing three daily, Dubai to Milan flights. The service will originate in Dubai with passengers then able to enjoy a stopover in Milan en-route to New York. On the return flight, passengers will have the option of stopping in Milan before continuing on to Dubai.

The new service, an extension of Emirates three daily flights to Milan, home to the Emirates-sponsored football club AC Milan, will boost Emirates’ flights to New York to three daily.

Emirates will deploy its state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER on this route, offering eight seats in First Class, 42 seats in Business Class and 310 seats in Economy Class.

Emirates flight EK205 will depart Dubai at 09:05hrs arriving in Milan at 13:50hrs, the flight will then depart Milan at 16:00hrs arriving in New York at 19:00hrs the same day. The return journey on flight EK206 will depart New York at 22:20hrs arriving in Milan at 12:15hrs the following day before departing for Dubai at 14:00hrs, touching down in Dubai at 22:05hrs.

Excellent timings on this service as well.

I would have thought they will slot this after EK202 departs at 23:00 ( it arrives into jfk at 13:50 which is several hours before EK205) Not sure what is the wisdom in having two flights departing within an hour of each other. That's too much pressure on the check-in agents and the lounge infrastructure also. Maybe they will prepone EK202 to early evening?

Aww Man, thought a new destination to USA bould have been better choice

Check in staff @ JFK will be really overworked with the 2 flights so near. I would have thought a New Destination like ORD or MIA or BOS would have been better.

Of course it is possible they may use this opportunity to add staff in New York?

They might but they also need more counters as EK pretty much occupies an entire check-in row at JFK.

EY has just announced a code-share deal with Aer Lingus for flights to ORD, BOS and JFK from AUH (via DUB). Wonder if this will prompt EK into announcing a wave of new routes, following the new-route drought so far this year!
