Interesting, despite other reductions, to see EK expansion including various European routes. Curious in times of pilot shortage.
Presumably also the new EY BCN service is a direct replacement for the dropped (last flight today) EDI service?
Dubai – Amsterdam eff 01DEC18
Increase from 14 to 19 /wk from 07JAN19
Dubai - Prague 1 to 2 daily now First Class
Dubai - Hamburg A380 replaces 773
Dubai – Moscow Domodedovo eff 25OCT18 Increase from 2 to 3 daily
Dubai – Stockholm Arlanda eff 01DEC18 Increase from 1 to 2 daily, 3-class 777-300ER
Dubai - Ryiadh increase to 4 daily
Dubai - Toronto Pearson increase from 3 to 5 weekly eff 31AUG18
Dubai - Luanda increases from 5 /wk to daily

The PRG route isn't being increased, it is listed as being reduced from 2 to 1 daily? The reductions elsewhere may be what is allowing any increases to be made if the overall system wide capacity isn't actually changing much?
Anyway, I don't think it needs over analysed at this stage. The adjustments have been made, it'll be back to daily from April (runway works aside), and the CAA stats will reveal the route's popularity in time. It's still an increase in the overall DXB-Scotland capacity which I think is how EK will be viewing it given the proximity of the airports.

Doubt even a direct routing could boost this service.

EIN has actually been taken off sale for S19, remains to be seen whether it is just a reshuffle or it is being cut.

Think it's only for winter (which I thought was a good time to visit Iceland and was popular for northern lights tourism etc). If they've dropped it totally then that's a shame.

During the winter Easyjet throw capacity at the route 5/wk. Only 2/wk in summer. And since much of the WOW target market is heading to North America, hardly surprising that they are cutting back. Aren't there also questions about WOW finances?

This is becoming a mess losing so many routes in a short time if frequency decreases if true, hopefully Easyjet and Ryanair pick up some more routes would also be nice to get another 2nd based Tui Aircraft

Would be surprised to see that. Esp as Lisbon only got a seasonal 757. The US market couldnt sustain additional routes with Norwegian as we've seen even with budget prices so flooding it again on a mainline legacy widebody makes no sense.
