Having just heard about this - and already having booked a flight to Bangalore with EK, I assume there will not be any changes to my booking? (Hoping EK would not have let me book a service that would be reduced)
Is anyone aware of existing bookings being changed?

No NA routes are affected. Plenty of European ones though.

On which point, if I booked flights because they were scheduled to be operated by A380s, and those have now been rescheduled as 777s (has happened on two of my flights), is there any hope at all of rescheduling to other flights flying on the same day, which are operated by A380s? Without further charge, of course. Not sure if these changes are caused by the runway closure but may be related given dates.

My question is I have a flight soon from AMM to DXB but usually there are two flights, now while checking the website some days have one flight other days have two, so the ones that have two on the website can I book anyone I want or it's going to change all of a sudden?

But when I checked I found that some days have 904, and I'm afraid if I booked It would get cancelled, and I miss my flight, the problem that if I was going on business I won't care, but I'm going to take a test there to get my CPA credentials so I must catch the flight even if I'm flying three days early!

On the same topic, it appears that some days might have the regular schedule, cause I called their offices in Amman and according to them if the flight is shown on the site then Emirates is going to run it just as @JTXC said, but I emailed Emirates and waiting for a reply from them!

One possibility might be to cross into Jordan the afternoon before you want to travel, and spend one night in Amman, taking the 902 AMM-DXB. I used to love that flight -- it rarely goes more than 50% (once I was on it with only 80 total pax on a 773!).
