Emirates growth slowing

Emirates airline growth to slow amid airport capacity constraints | GulfNews.com

Interesting news, seems like capacity issues at DXB, combined with a slowdown in traffic between Asia and Africa are hitting the brakes on the expansion plans.

I guess the capacity issues will be resolved with the new terminal next year and by adding more ULR's/extending aircraft layover time at outstations and possibly the addition of more 5th freedoms.

Just remind me how many A380s they have on order? 83 is it?

Mitigated maybe, but not resolved.

Getting DWC up to it's proposed capacity is the only long term solution.
