HRH probably went to look at the completed whales that he decided he didn't want for a while. He'll head down to Toulouse next to take a look at the other ones gathering dust down there.
Airbus can't or won't deliver the 150 plus airframes ordered / optioned . EK hold out for the penalty payment (a lot) as per contract , even if they don't want the aircraft .... high finance made simple , just another business plan . Nothing to do with yields , fuel burn impracticality etc . The world of accountancy works in mysterious ways ...

I love it. It used to be tight getting a seat subload with all the overbooking. Apparently someone in the office figured out "loads" are not the same thing as "yield". Who knew? Now the loads are so light I have no trouble getting on with the SRC's I have left to burn.
Can't see how moving 100 people or so around in a 380 (as on my last trip) is sustainable, but not my problem.
