Doesn`t have the long range crew beds
Thanks.

Why would EK operate a 340 on MAN-DBX??

That makes no sense at all.
1. It's DXB...
2. Layover time
3. Cargo
4. Extra capacity
5. Better connections

The 3rd daily is a dead duck now.
Unlike many carriers, EK has the facilities to invest and believes in the regions (NCL is the most brightest of jewels for that argument) and where capacity is needed, they will deliver nine times out of ten.

If MAN needs MORE than 150 extra seats per day, then I am pretty sure that EK will deliver. I don't expect it in the short term, but medium wouldn't surprise me.

Also, could anybody explain the cargo variations between the 77W and A380? Thanks
