330 phase out starts in in 2011, all 340 gone by 2014. Eleven 777 leave between 2012 and 2016. So approximately 50 planes over the next 6 years. Of course we will be getting more but we have never been phasing out so many. Now this is a rumor network and EK is infamous for planning to get rid of planes then keeping them around a lot longer ( A310 ). Just don't want to be in the right seat when it happens.
