So what does that mean? That effectively 37/38 is remaining a 777 for next year?

That's how I read the information.

Still isn’t a 100%, best to see in January when emirates starts updating the bookings for aircraft changes

 

[RichL]

Manchester seems a strange one - I thought first class did okay out of there? Seems just one flight will offer first moving forward based on that info above.

It does before covid it was one 3 class and 2x2 class but when business returned there were not enough
aircraft available so a 3 class was added so at least we had something bigger than a 777 which were not
satisfactory or popular, Qatar have the same problem and except they have are going a different way using A350X and A359 plus 789 all year now and 777 is slowly going

According to the latest timetable/schedule upgrade yes but Emirates update this on a near monthly basis so wouldn't read too much into it yet. Hopefully will change over the next 2-3 month if the 2nd 380 is coming back in 2024

 

[CL44]

Well I for one will not be too upset if we keep the 777 on the later flight!

 

[rollo]

Personally I'd be happy with Emirates staying as they are and Qatar going double daily or at least going 10 weekly with a daily lunchtime flight.

Alternatively Emirates 3 daily as before covid with 2 X 777 and 1x380 or 3 x 777 although that's highly optimistic .

Saudi up to 4 weekly!

Turkish going nicely with the announced summer frequency increase.

Finally no PIA to upset the apple cart going east.

 

[Scania1800]

What I do speculate is that 3rd daily emirates returning in the future, I’m not saying next year or after, but it does look to return as demand is definitely going well. The evening flight isn’t as expected, but in cargo wise it’s doing fantastic

 

[laviation]

Emirates will probably be thrice daily once slightly smaller aircraft types come in to allow the third service. Something like 1x A388, 2x A359

Completely depends on the seating configs and whether the 350s will be 2 or 3 class machines.

What makes you say that? 2 A350s on BHX is reducing capacity, if possible it’s only going to be on the third service if it happens. However I don’t see the 777 going by at least 2025. The A350s are planned for Asian routes that are 2C.

And yet you’re not justifying what I asked, the 777 is not going anywhere, if changed it’s only going to be the A380 evening.

[nwoody2001]

Wonder why more have gone back into storage??? Emirates are expanding still be why putting more 388 2 classes into storage than out?!

 

[GliderPilot]

I'd been wondering why I'd seen the same reg on the lunchtime service so frequently, no wonder when there are only five of them.

I share the same sentiments as NWoody wondering why more have gone back into storage.

Very slim, a lot of the A380s meant to return to service have not returned, this is due to parts not arriving on time. As for the other journey to the future A380s, they are in for maintenance, not entirely sure how long either. However, A6-EOR should be in maintenance today as it’s booked to be.
