Does anybody know if Emirates has some plans to buy the A380? When?

Emirates is the largest customer for the A380.
They have 45 firm orders for this super jumbo (I am not sure if this is good news for us ?).

At Dubai airport they are buliding a new terminal with 23 gates for the A380.

They will start service in the second half of 2006.

Not if they go for the 650 PAX option that has been mentioned,

"3rd class" will be worse than that on the B777's

Hope they will use a lower deck "3rd class" while the upper deck maintains a sense of normality...
