It was certainly a 777-300 flt EK420 on Monday 16th Jan - we were on it.
Dubai Perth 2 Daily service continues to be operated by Boeing 777-200LR. Claims from other aviation message board that 1 of 2 Daily switches to -300ER, is incorrect as time this post goes to press

Seems it's all going to Boeing! A343 and A345 hardly doing anything, other than Tunis (for a short while) and St. Petersburg.
Surely TUN is a complete waste of an ultra long ranger such as the A340-500? One wonders why they're even retained in the fleet when not used properly.

So if I'm reading the original post correctly, here's what I see for A330 layovers for fiscal year 2012/13
ADDIS ABABA --- begins 25 Mar 2012
ENTEBBE --- begins 25 Mar 2012
SAIGON --- begins 4 June 2012
TUNIS --- ends 25 Mar 2012
MAURITIUS --- ends 25 Mar 2012
MANCHESTER --- ends 01 June 2012
DUBLIN --- ends 01 July 2012
HONG KONG --- ends 30 Sept 2012
FRANKFURT --- ends 01 Oct 2012
MALTA --- Ends 01 Oct 2012
SAIGON --- ends 27 Oct 2012
NICE --- ends 28 Oct 2012
Or are Addis and Entebbe going to be long turnaround flights like Nairobi in the 330?

Indeed, never say never, however......
The A319 in question (notice I said THE A319 as there is only 1) is, I understand a heavily discounted 'gift' from Airbus to their biggest customer (by $ value) for use as an executive transport by EK Chairman upwards.
Do you not think that if minibus' were on the cards, we would have ordered more than 1 and if so it would have been announced with much fanfare as is the norm around here?
As a skipper on the Airbus, I can assure you that no-one has been informed of a 'selection process' hence the April 1st quip!!!
Like I said... a load of very smelly poo poo!
