Ramadan reductions I'd expect. Happens every year.

June 1st, and the schedule is terrible, YYZ-DXB will arrive at 11:30am, when your body thinks its time for bed.

Starting June 14th EK450 will start flying DXB - DPS - AKL..

Strange for them to stop in DPS, perhaps to fill up a gap to DPS aswel as AKL?

I think many will prefer the new schedule of 241, you won't be wasting more then half the day flying anymore.

​​​​​​DPS is exactly on the way to AKL so it's a logical stop geographically. We can only guess what the business logic for the decision is...

It will be the only year service from AKL to DPS. Currently it is only seasonal service by NZ.

Yeah, that's real problem. It's not good at all. They should keep at the same time. They don't like change flight schedule. Ridiculous!

That doesn't of itself mean the new EK service has a sound commercial logic.

These are similar timings as JFK's 203 and 208. They're not that bad in practice.
