Scalability.

Somebody had to put together the capability to do larger checks on the 380 and aggregate the market in order to obtain enough work to keep a crew fully occupied. Qantas had the option to do it but didn't, Singapore have it. Emirates probably have big enough fleet projections to go it alone.
