Lookin' good for EK! How about Kathmandu???

Its already served from DXB under the FlyDubai brand as its considered low yield territory.

With the current exclusion of Heavy wide bodies in the mountain airport not going to happen anyway.

[Joe Curry]

any further northern regional expansion will be at GLA

The newly announced Doha flight from EDI might stagnate any further EK
expansion ?

[SWBKCB]

Stagnate? Somebody will need to explain the concept to them first...

[Skipness One Echo]

The newly announced Doha flight from EDI might stagnate any further EK expansion ?

Would it really kill you to just be pleased for EDI rather than continually booting the other guy in the balls?
Rouge, US Airways, more United flights than any British Isles airport outside of LHR and now Qatar yet all you've got is EDI v GLA? Come on man it's not 1977 anymore!

[Joe Curry]

Stagnate? Somebody will need to explain the concept to them first...

Self-explanatory surely, arrested development caused by competition...
Not a new concept...

[Joe Curry]

booting the other guy in the balls?

My turn? :-)

[Ringwayman]

arrested development caused by competition...

you mean like at MAN where EK, EY and QR all record increased passengers numbers despite operating up to a combined total of 6 times per day?

[LAX_LHR]

you mean like at MAN where EK, EY and QR all record increased passengers
numbers despite operating up to a combined total of 6 times per day?

Its actually up to 7 per day (3 EK+2 EY+2 QR on some days).

Would it really kill you to just be pleased for EDI rather than continually
booting the other guy in the balls?

I don't think its in his making to be even remotely positive about GLA, so your probably wasting your time trying to reason with him.

[EK77WNCL]

Regarding Kathmandu, what is this about the widebody ban? What are Thai, Korean and Air Asia X doing? They operate 777's and A330's to KTM.

And EK/FZ operate many of the same routes, they are separate airlines.

[EK77WNCL]

Does anybody know the status of EK's wifi? All A380's and 777's were supposed to have it by about now, or be well on the way, but AFAIK, new 777's aren't being delivered with it. A380's are.

Rumoured launches of OSL, BRU and BUD in Europe as well as ORD and MIA this year.


In 2013 13 A380, 8 B77W and 3 B77F joined the fleet.
8 destinations (Warsaw, Algiers, Tokyo (Haneda), Stockholm, Clark, Conakry, Sialkot, Kabul) were launched.
In total EK counted more than 43 million passengers in 2013.

In 2014 further 13 A380 and aprox 15 B77W will join the fleet.

fleet growth vs. upgrades B777

I heard the plan was for no more upgrades this year (2014) for the Boeing. Moving over A332 Capts to 777. Canceled all 40 of the Capts from the Boeing that were going to the A380.

I know everything always changes here, but if we are not going to get rid of the older 777s as the plan was, then they will have to upgrade with 15 new airplanes this year.

Any news or rumors ??

50th A380 was delivered a few days ago

Emirates has received its 50th A380 aircraft, strengthening its position as the world’s largest international airline.
This latest delivery takes Emirates’ all wide-body fleet to 224 aircraft, representing the world’s largest fleet of A380s, and also the world’s largest fleet of Boeing 777s.
Since April 2010, Emirates has received 96 aircraft (all A380s and Boeing 777s), increasing its overall capacity by 64% in ATKMs and 71% in ASKMs, while consistently maintaining seat load factors of close to 80%. During this period, Emirates also added 48 cities to its global destination network.
Moving forward, we will see quite a ramp up in the delivery programme and by late 2017 we will have around 90 A380s in our fleet to support existing and new A380 routes
