Kamelf, (love the handle, by the way), you may have misunderstood. With the 777, it's quite normal to find yourself landing at or very near Max Landing Weight into Dubai after carrying minimum fuel from your departure point. It has something to do with how clever those folks in Seatttle were in designing the aeroplane and how clever those people in EK Commercial Dept are in filling it to the optimum with payload.

Roll on the ATCO famil flights, I say. I thought they'd been approved some months ago, but as far as I'm aware, they haven't started yet.
