There is a fairly big change. The EK777 is an upgrade on the EY332 anyway, plus the EK departure is later at night and is 7 days per week (until runway works in DXB anyway) as opposed to EYs 5 per week in the morning.
I suspect once the runway is back to normal in DXB, they will attempt double daily from EDI. I don't think GLA will change to the 380 any time soon though.
