[David_itl]

Well, well, well.... Who do we see in the top 5 Emirates desitnations for A380s this summer? "Heathrow, Cairo, Paris CDG, Johannesburg, and Manchester are due to be the top-five A380 routes for Emirates this coming season"

Even stranger,,,

"Based on total seats, Emirates’ top-10 A380 airports were:

1. Heathrow (with nearly 80% more seats than #2)
2. Bangkok
3. New York JFK
4. Paris CDG
5. Hong Kong
6. Auckland
7. Jeddah
8. Sydney
9. Manchester
10. Gatwick"

The Emirates A380 will be back at Manchester tommorow. ETA-12:05 ETD-14:05

 

[Llandudno]

Emirates back to 3 daily A380 from 1st July.

According to SeanM1997 on twitter Emirates should be reintroducing their 3rd daily A380 flight to DXB from MAN with the start of the winter timetable from 30th October.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Aeroroutes: Emirates pull the A380 from the daily morning flight, from July 1, 2023 until September 30, 2023 when assumedly the A380 returns on the morning flight.
This leaves:
EK21/22 - 0745/0950 - daily 2 class 777-300ER
EK17/18 - 1200/1405 - daily A380-800
EK19/20 - 1915/2115 - daily A380-800

Aeroroutes.com reports that Emirates will deploy 4 class A380 including Premium Economy from LHR on all six daily flights from December whilst Manchester will have 4 class on EK17/18 from next March.

 

[gulftraveller]

The latest Emirates update on aeroroutes.com shows MAN back to two daily 2 class A380 plus one 3 class. EK21 is 3 class in January and EK17 is still listed as 4 class from March.

A6-EPR to operate July 1st EK21/22

777 on morning flight through Oct 1st, believe it’s a mix of the seasonal drop in demand (who in God’s name wants to go to Dubai in August!) and to retrofit the A380 fleet with premium economy.

Premium economy 380s expected from March on the afternoon flight IIRC

 

[David_itl]

Apparently MAN-DXB is in the lofty heights of being in 10th place for the most A380 services. Looking slightly out of place. https://simpleflying.com/top-10-airbus-a380-routes/#london-heathrow-to-dubai

EK29 diverted from LHR due crosswinds but planned alternates were STN and the GLA. Ended up in GLA. Not sure why MAN and BHX not in the mix.

They’ll have gone where they were told. maybe BHX and MAN either couldn’t accept it or the weather was just as bad so didn’t take chances.

Birmingham had very strong winds too, brought a number of trees down here.So ruled BHX out.

Hi, trying to decide some travel plans for late October this year. Can anyone confirm the likely configuration (2/3 class) of EK17/18 by the end of that month. Many thanks.

 

[laviation]

EK18 is showing as three class through SeatGuru. Might be worth doing a dummy booking to view the seatmap
17/18 will also be moving to 4 class (Premium Economy) from March

The new Emirates Skycargo flights into Manchester are finally showing on the SkyCargo website. Will operate 2 weekly from 1st June until 28th Oct initially.

 

[Comet]

Although this is still showing on the Emirates timetable data from flight radar has it going to LHR rather than MAN.

 

[Land23R]

On the EK Skycargo freighter schedules, I can only see 2 x weekly flights to LHR.

Sat. arr. 13.50. dep. 17.50
Wed. arr. 14.00. dep. 17.50

EK 9943 and 9944. What were the MAN flight numbers?

Is there any reason why MAN flights wouldn't show in the schedules, or is there some other doc. where they do still appear?
Do the LHR flights shown operate at present? If not, have slots suddenly been found?

Looking back at the post on X by SPD Travels of 27 May, the MAN flight No. is EK9940 dep. 12.50 and is via BRU. That suggests it's quite separate from the LHR flights.

 

[Comet]

EK9940 which is the MAN flight is now shown as going to LHR rather than MAN on FR.

 

[Land23R]

Hmmm. On here as well.
