August 1 and we still don’t know what the J seats will look like, right? Meanwhile, QR shows their Q-Suite 2.0 which will not even fly until 2026 (if lucky).

surprised no mention of this in the thread but DXB-ORD will be Game Changer beginning middle October 2024 - June 2025
But I don't think that thread gets as much attention as this one does. |

Looks like the introduction of the new J on EK083 GVA has been moved up to August 7th.

As always, the retrofit seems to take longer then expected. Lets see if they can do it within 2 weeks for the next airframes coming.

The introduction of the A350 has been delayed yet again.
First flight for the 359 will now be Dec 2 to EDI. The EDI route will still launch on Nov 4 but will be flown by the 77L until the 359 takes over on Dec 2. |
Has this been reported? From The Straits Times:
Emirates to stop flights between Singapore and Melbourne Dubai-based airline Emirates is stopping its long-running flights between Singapore and Melbourne, just five years after it applied to terminate flights between Singapore and Brisbane in 2019. In a statement on Aug 8, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) said Emirates had requested to terminate its operations on the route. In response to queries, the airline said in early September that it will determine the termination date after receiving the final assessment from CCCS regarding the impact of being released from its capacity commitments that were set out in an alliance with Qantas. ... Mr Mayur Patel, head of Asia at OAG, described the Singapore-Melbourne sector as one faced with “intensive competition” from six full service and low-cost carriers, especially since Jetstar belongs to Qantas and Scoot to SIA. He said these six airlines offer travellers a segmented approach and affordable price points. Ticket prices are unlikely to rise even with Emirates’ withdrawal of services, he added, as the market has always been segmented with price-sensitive travellers opting for budget carriers. Emirates operates the Singapore-Melbourne route as a fifth-freedom service, where it flies from Dubai to Singapore, so it can offload and pick up passengers, before proceeding to Melbourne, or the reverse. Mr Patel said Emirates may be choosing to streamline its operating costs by providing non-stop flights between Dubai and Melbourne, with better scheduling options and greater connectivity between Europe and Australia. Since only around 180 of more than 350 seats get filled at the Singapore stop on each flight, the airline could be optimising its traffic flows, said Mr Patel. |
