EK203/4 A380ULR 4 classes
EK201/2 A380ULR 3 classes
EK205/6 A380LR 4 classes

There was for about 7 months. 8 years ago. ;)

Correct, as of Jan 22, 2027.

I missed on Dec 23, EK149/150 AMS receives the 4-class 380. I've edited my post above to reflect this change.

Appears that both HAN flights will be operated with 359s from Jan 1, based on the schedule placeholders I am seeing.

Actually, it operated much longer. The reason why I recall EK 207/08 'fondly' is because it is the only time I have been able to snag 3 (three) reward seats in F.

Here is what I got from the internet:

Key details regarding the history of this flight:

• Initial Launch: Announced in November 2014, the service started on March 8, 2015, to enhance capacity, Gulf Business reported.
• Service Information: It was operated by an Airbus A380-800.
• Suspension: The EK207/208 service was stopped on March 25, 2018, as Emirates shifted focus to increase services to Newark (EWR), TradeArabia reported.

I really liked the schedule of 208. Wish they would bring it back.

I was going by this but I guess their data doesn't go back to the routes origins and I bow to your memory as a user.

Due to current crisis/load factors the Glasgow EK27/EK28 will be operated by 3 class 777 instead of 3 class A380.
Schedules loaded from 13th March until 28th March.

Is EK420 being converted to A359?

It seems that EK is attempting to get back to near 100% of pre-conflict operating capacity by May 1.

Some of the notable changes for May and June are as follows:

EK011/012 LGW operated by a 4-class 380 from May 1 to May 31
EK027/028 GLA operated by a 4-class 77W from May 1 to May 31 (PY not sold)
EK051/052 MUC operated by a 3-class 77W from May 1 to May 31
EK085/086 ZRH operated by a 4-class 77W from May 1 to May 31
EK091/092 MXP operated by a 4-class 77W from May 1 to May 31
EK099/100 FCO resumption cancelled indefinitely
EK103/104 ATH resumption cancelled indefinitely
EK109/110 LCA/MLA operated by a 359 from May 1
EK139/140 PRG operated by a 3-class 77W from May 1 to May 31
EK151/152 CPH operated by a 2-class 380 from May 1

EK823/824 DMM operated by a 3-class 77L from May 1
EK905/906 AMM resumption on Jun 1
EK953/954 BEY resumption on Jul 1
EK957/958 BEY resumption on Jul 1

All flights to IKA cancelled indefinitely.

I think that would be the first time PE is operated to LGW.

And I notice EK772/773 CPT is back from 1 May

Copenhagen route has the A350 in May. Premium economy is also sold 😃

Copenhagen seems to have the 2 class A380 in June and 3 class A380 with premium economy from 01July.

Do we have an update on the planned flights beyond end of May?

I see several A359 joined the fleet in the meantime and I would not be surprised if several routes would see A359 instead of B77W (prior Iran conflict) until (hopefully) demand is going up again, maybe for winter season.

I've compiled the list of changes from Jun 1 onwards, using today's date as my reference point for 'resumption/upgrade/downgrade' changes. Given the sheer volume of changes, I've ordered by city code and noted when a particular city is back to its 'pre-conflict' schedule (aircraft type assigned to flight number). For simplicity sakes, I've used upgrade/downgrade in the context of the number of seats, not product.
