What makes you think EK will keep 2 daily let alone 3 or an A380? The second EK had poor load factors whenever I flew with them so I thought 'most people who go to Asia or Aus must go through AUH'.
Of note, EY have their own dedicated business lounge at DUB. EK doesn't.
EK A380 or EY A380? Who is the planning permission for?
Don't really know much about the A380 but EK are doing well and after a slow start for the second daily service it has picked up a lot since. The upgrade is for EK, EY will never send a A380, said a few weeks ago B787 will take over.

All based on 3 class but they did send quiet a few 2 class particularly during summer so not bothered looking at specifics.
