Aren’t they downsizing the 777 fleet
They were, but now they're not. Leases on 15 airframes were set to expire but EK managed to negotiate new favourable lease terms. 2 777F leases weren't renewed as I believe we were out bid (by Lufthansa Cargo?). However I've heard direct from Fleet they're negotiating with Boeing for the purchase of a replacement pair of freighters as we speak.
