A6-EOS tomorrow EK39/40, keep in mind this is not in the blue EXPO livery and is in the old standard livery

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

A6-EOS is on EK39 first flight in nearly or over a year it did a test flight and returns to commercial service here tomorrow.
Never Mind the news article I read was out of date as Scania posted about it

Sorry for posting relentlessly.

Emirates are supposed to have 5 A350 at the end of the calendar year.
Any updates on any aircraft changes for BHX regarding the A350?

Thanks

I think that None are 2 class so not for us

They have business,Economy and premium economy so that’s 3 class I think

I very much hope we don't see the EK 350 at BHX until a 3rd daily service is re-introduced. Anything else would be a significant reduction in capacity at BHX!

So far S25 seems to be A350 for flights 37/38, but a backup is also available for 777

Well, Emirates has got a lot of competition.

Well, Emirates has got a lot of competition.

Indeed they do, but BHX need to grow demand and find new markets if it is to grow market share, not simply shift existing markets between different carriers. If Emirates reduces capacity, it has done neither of those things....

Looking over the last 10 years on pax from BHX flying east on connecting airlines, this is how Emirates has compared in terms of market-share (looking at august for each year). When factoring in the following airlines - Emirates, Air India, PIA, Turkish Airlines, Turkmenistan, Qatar, Saudia, Pegasus...

Aug 2015: 102k Pax (EK = 64k / 63%)
Aug 2016: 123k Pax (EK = 70k / 57%)
Aug 2017: 125k Pax (EK = 75k / 60%)
Aug 2018: 119k Pax (EK = 67k / 56%)
Aug 2019: 114k Pax (EK = 68k / 60%)
Aug 2020: 4k Pax (EK = 0k/0%)
Aug 2021: 12k Pax (EK = 10k / 82%)
Aug 2022: 75k Pax (EK = 49k / 65%)
Aug 2023: 109k Pax (EK = 58k / 53%)
Aug 2024: 121k Pax (EK = 58k / 48%)

What this shows is that in terms of pax going east, BHX is yet to recover to the same levels as seen in 2016/17 even though we have more airlines flying east, and EK circa 10k pax a month below the capacity they originally offered pre-covid.

Something of an eye-opener!

On the website it’s still B77W because emirates updates UK seasonal routes at January - March, occasionally in December too

 

[Matt995]

The final A380 aircraft to re-enter service, A6-EUZ which hasn't flown commercially since 2020, operated a test flight out of Dubai today, so if all went to plan, expect the aircraft to re-enter service in the next week or so, one to watch out for at Brum!

They have also also just announced the ruturn of the 615 seater A380 to Copenhagen from January.

This one’s also the ex Year of Zayed A380, nows the time emirates announces Their Allocation changes, and who knows, maybe they even decide to send the A380 at evening again

Loads have apparently been not great but I wouldn’t mind an A350
