Fourth daily flight for Gatwick and tenth for London.

Starts 1st October

EK024 LGW 16:50 DXB 02:40+1
EK023 DXB 09:50 LGW 14:30

So Heathrow sees 6x daily A380's and Gatwick see 3x daily A380's and a 77W.

Seems the 4th daily flight has been cancelled. Not bookable on any platform now.

Emirates have suspended operations to LGW until March 2022.

 

[Seasider]

Seems sensible to me, concentrate on Heathrow until business picks up.

 

[CM.]

Emirates will resume flights to Gatwick from December 10th 2021. Flights will be daily.

Emirates seems to have downgraded their EK11/12 service to 777 3 class again

I wonder how much this has to do with lack of A380 aircraft? Still around 35 A380s not yet back in service.

The 2 class A380 A6-EUO finally re-entered service today on the Manchester am flight, it looks like it takes 2 months to get a stored A380 back in service.

I wonder how much this has to do with lack of A380 aircraft? Still around 35 A380s not yet back in service.

It may be due to the lack of MRO facilities available. Qantas had planned for all A380s to return by the end of this year, however this date has been pushed back to 2025. I read this on simpleflying.com.

I’m seeing on other forums that EK is having troubles returning A380’s back into service, they are taking longer to turn round than planned & I suppose the longer they sit idle the more work will be required etc
