In addition,

Effective 07JUL15, second daily flight to Seattle using a B777-200LR. The schedules are:

EK 227 DXB SEA 0315 0655
EK 228 SEA DXB 0940 1055+1

Cargo hold going out full with Boeing spares. Rumor has it they have a big contract with Boeing.

Furthermore,

EK reps at this winters LA Times travel show, stated LAX was going back to double daily by the end of 2015, pending additional aircraft deliveries.

Most likely going to be operated by the 77W.

The additional daily SEA flight and new MCO flight (10th U.S. destination) bring the total U.S. weekly flights to 98. Pretty impressive.

STC did mention late last year that the ultimate goal is to have North America account for 1/3 of EK's revenue. Which requires a doubling in capacity.
