Emirates Moves NY A380s To Toronto, Bangkok

Apparently the rumours were true. This article from AW&ST, although slightly inaccurate, explains:


Emirates this summer is planning to redeploy the Airbus A380s currently assigned to the carrier's twice daily service between Dubai and New York Kennedy as it adapts to shifts in demand and limitations of an air services agreement between the UAE and Canada.
Starting June 1, the carrier will allocate one of the two A380s currently serving New York to its thrice-weekly route to Toronto, while the second ultra-widebody assigned to JFK will be placed into service on one of Emirates' twice daily flights from between Dubai and Bangkok.
At the same time, Emirates will start operating Boeing 777-300ERs to New York in a move that effectively swaps the capacity currently assigned to Bangkok and Toronto.
