Not sure about that, only this week Korean announced that they were parking up their 380 fleet, Malaysian are doing the same. For Airbus to invest an awful lot more money in a project that is already in the red I think they would like to have a few more orders than 35 from EK.

On the bright side, EK must be getting a stonking deal on the price of each airframe, which also factor's into the yield equation.
