Nice! Free round trip in j for you.

London is a freak of nature :)

Then again, Oman are starting MAN flights next year, so maybe they know more than me :D

I have 2 flights out of Lgw in Aug and sept and they both are quite busy already.

The UK is a special market for EK because London is by far the number one source for overnight visitors to DXB - i.e. their most significant O&D market.

A lot of that travel seems to be leisure demand - DXB is the new Southern Europe for many - so combine that with summer holidays in the UK and all the normal connecting traffic and you see UK loads being what they are.

It remains to be seen whether this will hold up with the fall in the value of GBP!

EK 418 to BKK/SYD/CHC will be upgauged to A380 next year as well....just don`t know when exactly...

WAW and NCE will also get the A380 till years end.

Sadly some flights being axed (LIS, LOS, FCO).....:-(

And the axing includes SAW... doubtless something to do with the general slowdown in tourism in Turkey. But also beginning to lose count of failed destination launches in the last few years..... they really need a core fleet of smaller planes (250-300 seaters) for the next wave of growth to make the more creative launches viable.

EK77W Jul 16, 2016 4:59 am

KHI down from 7 to 5 daily from August until the end of March.

EK610/611 and 618/619 suspended during this period.

HB-IWC Jul 19, 2016 7:44 am

KUL gets a second A380 permanently to compensate for the loss of EK408/409.

Just read, EK 348 CMB-SIN will be cancelled.

What I could not see; will the flight be divided? One DXB-CMB and another DXB- SIN?

Interesting.

I used to like 348 as it almost guranteed suites in F.

People don't like stops...its why the DXB MEL direct is much more popular than EK404 that stops in SIN.

Or perhaps a reduction to either one of the two destinations....

I wonder if that will lead to an extra MXP-JFK A380 flight at some point soon after...

HB-IWC Jul 25, 2016 8:47 pm

DXB DFW keeps the B77W. Resumption of A380 service has been cancelled.

Thanks a lot
