Heard that EK may drop one of its three weekly flights to YYZ in favour of a second Canadian gateway. Wonder if anyone else has heard that rumour!

So 2 weekly to YYZ and one weekly to ???

Does this make any sence or bring any advantage compared to the current 3 weekly YYZ?

Not entirely sure, but that's what I have heard. Not sure which city they'd pick in addition to YYZ!

Strong rumour that EK will add a 2nd daily flight to BRU from this autumn.
Finally!

Anyone know how CPH, OSL, ARN or LIS are doing and if there might be a 2nd daily as well anytime soon?

ARN are upgrading one of their gates currently to acommodate the A380, so I guess an upgrade to A380 on the DXB-ARN route is the logical next step before any second rotation is considered.

I don't see any need for a second daily LIS route, but rather for a new daily OPO route

I'm thinking that this could be a very good way of EK not having to go down the route of EY and devalue/strip their premium product. After all, that's what matters

Carriers from India and the UAE can now fly a total of 131,741 aircraft seats a week, each way.

With the electronics ban gone I expect BOS and ORD to be getting the A380 or a second daily 77W.

It conveniently forgets that India and the UAE have individual bilaterals with each emirate instead of with the UAE as a whole.
