I think we all know what might happen after that...
From another forum it was not difficult to notice a high percentage of low density A388's that were used in August and per FR24 it seems 20 out of 31 flights on EK27 were either 489 or 491 seat aircraft. Was this pre-planned or right-sizing for the route? I originally thought these low density aircraft were usually used on ultra long-haul due to the extra crew rest space but it appears it is not that unusual as they do appear on other European and shorter Middle Eastern routes as well..
