Pre-covid Emirates had agreed that they would go up to 4 daily flights within a set time period can’t remember what this was exactly but it was over a couple of years. But this had certain parameters for MAG. I remember these being the capacity for a lounge, a double airbridge and the airport having a porter service for the first and business class passengers, they had other requests but can’t remember what they where now.
I'd agree with STN406- EK certainly have done very well at STN since launching here in 2018 and I am confident that they are here to stay- as has been indicated previously, I wouldn't be surprised to see additional frequencies being added to the existing 2 daily 77W operation. On the question of the A388 coming to STN, it certainly is possible, now that MAG have the necessary infrastructure (dual jet bridges) in place to cater to the aircraft. Perhaps EK would first opt to add an additional 77W frequency and then upgauge one of the 2 existing flights to the A380? Time will tell
