The airline has a significant backlog of 777s on order, even before the order for 50 announced at the DXB air show last month.
The A343 is certainly going to be a welcome sight; with any luck, we might get a 345 the odd time. These are also slated to be disposed of, because they've been replaced on all the routes they were intended for by the 77L and 77W.

Good to see the M/E carriers grow at DUB, but it would be nice to see one of them add all-cargo services too.
