Depending on the routes, one city pair may take up to 3 airplanes, even for once daily service.
I've heard that a second NRT flight is close to being announced. Also understand that EK408 switches to an A380 in September.
Most likely, I believe, is expansion of the A380 routes and reduction of the B777 routes.
From a profit standpoint, nothing beats a full A380. I happened to have been flying to the US this week, and must say, there wasn't one empty seat. And the US is our slow market!
