The EK205/206 which will operate via HAM will be with the regular B77Ws -- ie. the regular business class.

Currently there are only 2x B77W configured in a 3-class layout (EBQ and EBR) that allows the operation of only the EK203/204 rotation. Subsequent aircraft deliveries may facilitate the deployment of frames configured with the new J seats.

That's too bad :( It will certainly make the DXB-JFK a route with an incosistent product offering. Do you know what EK will do with the extra A340-500 that they used to use for EK203/204?

Cheers

But I assume EBS and EBT would be coming online before the winter timetable starts since they've both been rolled out?

Replacing the 77W that's on the NGO run I guess.
