Manchester-2
Yes, 77W replaces the A359 on the daily lunchtime service from 01Dec according to Airline Route.
QR certainly providing variety this winter with A359 on the morning flight, 77W on the lunchtime, and 788 in the evenings.
From May next year frequency increased from 18 to 21 weekly, all 788 at this stage.

While I share your pessimism about the new road opening by the advertised ‘late summer’, which gives them 2 months, it’s worth saying that the last stages of a new road can happen very quickly if it’s mainly tarmacing and putting up a few lampposts and roadsigns. The new road layout at the top of the motorway spur at MAN seemed to go from a mess to opening in a matter of days. That said my money’s on Christmas.....

Manchester management please take note: "Industry group Airport Councils International’s (ACI) recent Airport Service Quality: Airport Cleanliness report found that clean restrooms and terminals had the greatest effect on travellers’ airport ratings. “If you want a pleasant experience, clean bathrooms are a must,” said ACI associate director Dimitri Coll."
This is one area where MAN falls far short of most other airports and they always seem to stink.
Just mentioned this to a colleague from Dublin - response 'yeah the ones at Manchester are notably terrible'

Emirates from December 2018 further increases capacity on Dubai – Manchester route, as the airline schedules 2nd daily 2-class A380 operation. From 01DEC18, EK021/022 will see 2-class 615-seater A380 operating, instead of 3-class aircraft on daily basis. Apart from temporary reduction during Dubai International Airport runway maintenance project from 16APR19 to 30MAY19, EK021/022 will also see 2-class A380 continue operating during summer 2019 season, from 31MAR19.

Emirates & Air Canada Rouge
Unfortunately I can't help, at the moment, with regards how MAN will be effected by the DXB runway closure.
On a separate note, I see that the Rouge daily programme to YYZ for Summer 2019 is between 22nd June and 17th September.

EK A380
Although it may be good news for Pax figures the 2 class A380s are a real pain for Business users. Previously exit was rapid on arrival (25 min into Limo was my best)
With 2 class you get held up behind the upper deck economy Pax causing considerable delays to the whole process right the way through to immigration and baggage collection, so from my perspective its not an improvement.
I am however a realist and understand EK cannot keep 3 class aircraft flying on the route just to speed up my exit from MAN !

Interesting Manchester getting an upgrade on the very the morning service BHX couldn't sustain a 360 or 428 seat 777.

Interesting Pete. I'd heard mention of EK introducing P/E at some stage and I guess upstairs on the A380 instead of First would make sense.
I hadn't realised the seats upstairs in economy cost more but it might explain when we flew back to MAN in January why there was only 1 person in that section so 40+ empty seats. And they tried to tell me there were 600 pax on board! Downstairs looked full and Business certainly was with not a single spare seat.

I have read elsewhere that EK regularly rotates its fleet through periods of short term storage at Dubai World Central, which ought to be a good opportunity to keep on top of aircraft appearance issues.
Is Manchester on the cusp of further growth after reading all the news coming in re expansion of high tech jobs
with office space growing at a monumental rate and new sign ups totaling nearly 1.5m sq feet this year alone
with many of the top companies moving in the next year or so (The Hut Group, Amazon Tech HQ, Google HMRC GCHQ
etc etc). Manchester at present is growing at more than any city except in London in the UK and is in top 5 in Europe
for the Tech business
