What about YYZ? Will they increase the frequencies? Will they consider it?

Where will these A380 be deployed to? I know that ZRH will get the A380 as well as LAX. That requires four frames. What about the others? Will they come as replacement for A380 that get their wing cracks fixed, meaning that actual expansion of A380 routes will only happen later?

MAN should go double daily A380 in 2014. I hope MUC (as LH will cancel some flights EK could catch slots for a 3rd daily flight), too and FRA will finally see the A380 next year.
...but this thread is for aircraft deliveries and not route speculation.

Yup, sure is. The A6-EEO is on the way to DXB now. Here is the flight tracker.

Will expect to land in DXB around midnight or so.

When is A6-EEL going to be delivered? Has there been a delay in testing the aircraft as it is now almost 7 months since its test flight?

EK announce some a/c changes. I noticed that some routes which are currently operated by B773 see upgrades. But up to now these B773 are not planned on other routes.

Will they leave the fleet / is the any log-time future of this aircraft (EK only got 12 B773) in EK's fleet?

Later we will see the 77A, 772 and 773 leaving Emirates.
But the whole process will take more time than expected.

I have a flight with an a340-300 from Phuket to Dubai in February.. the site says its an "a340-300 PASSENGER" (no idea what the passenger means).. do you guys think maybe they change it? the Business class product is really different from the 777's and not to mention the a380's.

It means you'll have a seat as it isn't a cargo plane
