Im guessing that Emirates will be shielded from the runway repairs
Last report said Emirates has to cancel 5350+ movements over the 3 month period or 60 per day.
Hardly what one would call shielded.
As with QF there is no direction from management on the issue at all yet, indicating that as reported, Dubai Airport hasn't got it's **** together and finalized any numbers.
At the wash-ups, EK management are quoted in the last few months as saying that there will categorically not be any LWOP offered next year. We all know how true something is once its passed from a manager's lips so bring on LWOP next summer
