The 380 taking over 777 routes is hardly a surprise, and I am sure there are many more to come.
The operational future of the 777 in EK will be to replace 330/340 routes, new destination launch and development, maintain non-380 suitable routes, cargo and additional frequencies to existing routes.
Both fleets have their own contributing roles to the business and offer various lifestyle options for Pilots. With a young family, I am looking forward to picking up more of the intra-gulf turns from the 330/340. Fliion no need to jump ship yet, its only a matter of time before we start operating new launch and expansion routes to the US.
On that note... anyone else suspecting a possible announcement on the existing 300ER options at Farnborough?
