Emirates launched its GRU-SCL service last year. But this year, starting June I can't seem to be able to find any seats between the two cities. And there's been no press announcements that I can find that indicate that this route has been eliminated or suspended temporarily. Anybody know what might be going on?

ACC (EK789/790) new 4 weekly flight with B77W
I don't know if it is a glitch or what is going on. EK787/788 don't work very well with my connecting flights, so I'm going to wait and see what happens. It is still 3+ months until the flights, so there is no rush yet.

I am booked on Ek 864 and 865 (DXB/MCT/DXB) in November and chosen seats on the 777 3 class.
EK have announced that their MCT flights from 1st July will be on A380's 3 class and flight timings will vary slightly with the commencement of the winter schedule in late October
I am bemused.
These flights have, in my experience, had very light loads in premium cabins so I can only think the new arrangements are to free up 777's and maybe use the A380's on a very short flight and turnaround to optimise usage ??

Was initially part of the 'fleet' spreadsheet, but it felt out of place and deserved it's own separate document.
Have been working on adding flight departure/arrival times and durations for the past 2 days.
Emirates Routes and Destinations
Can be accessed from it's easier to remember link as well:

As usual, any suggestions and feedback are always appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, big thanks for helping me out goes to @ZRHMD11 for correcting many mistakes I had made.

Nice work and seems to be right (so don't get me wrong - nothing to worry/blame on your side) but since when is:
DME back to double daily B77W (thought it was double daily A380)
EBB 10 weekly (thought it was only daily)
PRG again double daily (thought the new 2nd daily flight introduced last summer was cancelled last autumn)
DFW back to B77W (and not A380)
HKT only daily (EK396 not there anymore)
Didn't see any news release or announcements of such changes or maybe just overlooked these.

EBB (EK731/EK732) new rotation started 5th July 2019
PRG showed up on EK's schedule as double daily, so I added it
DFW has been 77W for over a year now
HKTs EK396 rotation ended on 15th April 2019

Back to Calicut soon...
https://www.khaleejtimes.com/busines...-planes-return
The wide-body aircraft of Emirates and Air India may soon be allowed to resume operations at Calicut International Airport, according to India's civil aviation authority, which confirmed that an approval has been granted. For Indian expats in the UAE - especially those who often travel to the Malabar region - it was a "huge relief".
According to documents issued by the Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India, which has been procured by Khaleej Times, Air India and Emirates have received approvals to resume day-time flights for an initial period of six months. Both airline companies submitted reports on the compatibility study and safety assessment in August and December 2018 and March 2019, respectively.
The operation of wide-body aircraft was banned at the Calicut airport from May 2015, in the wake of the court of inquiry report on the Air India Express Boeing 737 crash in Mangaluru in May 2010. A wide-body aircraft is a passenger airplane that is wide enough to accommodate two passenger aisles and has at least seven seats across.

Official: MEX via BCN starting Dec 9 2019
It's official! I remember discussing this about a year ago with someone from EK. Issue was getting good landing slots, with some resistance from Aeromexico (skyteam and JV partner with Delta...).
Dubai, 16 July 2019 – Emirates announced today its plan to launch a new daily service from Dubai (DXB) to Mexico City International Airport (MEX), via the Spanish city of Barcelona (BCN), starting on 9 December 2019.
Emirates’ Mexico City flight will be a linked service with Barcelona, meaning that customers can now travel between the two cities in unprecedented style and comfort. Citizens from Mexico, Spain and the UAE only need their passports to enjoy visa-free travel to each respective country.
The new route will be operated with a two-class Emirates Boeing 777-200LR which offers 38 Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration and 264 seats in Economy Class. The new 777 flight will also offer up to 14 tonnes of cargo, opening up access to more global markets for Mexican exports such as avocados, berries, mangoes, automotive parts and medical supplies. Emirates SkyCargo has been flying freighters to/from Mexico City since 2014 already and in the last year carried over 22,500 tons of cargo on the route.
Emirates flight EK 255 will depart Dubai at 03:30 local time, arriving in Barcelona at 08:00 before departing again at 09:55 and arriving into Mexico City at 16:15 on the same day. The return flight EK256 will depart Mexico City at 19:40 local time, arriving in Barcelona the next day at 13:25. EK256 will depart once again from Barcelona at 15:10 bound for Dubai where it will arrive at 00:45 the following day, facilitating convenient onward connections to numerous destinations in India, South East Asia and the Middle East.
