Could other airports maybe see some A380/B777 rotations replaced with A350/B787s in the future, but perhaps with additional frequency?
There's also the 777X on the way too eventually. I would guess that non A380 capable airports where Emirates would ideally like to fly them, and indeed some current A380 services will most likely see these as a future replacement.
I can see a 4th daily MAN once they move into the soon to be extended T2. Probably a 77W for added freight capability.
BRS is probably the only other real ‘hole’ in the UK network, but would it hamper BHX loads?
I could also see NCL maybe going double daily on a smaller a/c when they come online replacing the 77W. Giving more options on another bank of connections
