IN terms of load factors, here is what I make EK:
Worst case: daily 442 seat 77W + 2 daily 519 seat A380. 85.94% loads.
Best case : daily 360 seat 77W + 3 daily 489 seat A380. 95.06% loads.
This despite having the perceived handicap of CX now offering non-stop Hong Kong services; prior to this EK had 38% market share of MAN-xxx-HKG according to CAPA. Time for other airlines who believe they are similarly affected by EK offering 1 stop strategies to their own hubs to re-evaulate their positions
In the meantime, a few more months like that and it's 3rd A380 time!
