I seriously doubt they would decrease frequency as one flight a day is not enough for demand.
Emirates flights ex GLA are operating at 95%+ load factors in July and other busy periods. Business class is almost always full.
The A380 attracts customers that might fly from elsewhere. People going on holidays of a lifetime may spend a bit more to fly on the super jumbo.
