Just Two Types (For Now): The Emirates Fleet In 2023

[@zunaidparker]

FlyDubai business class is really great, especially if you get the single seat row, with no one next to you and a nice surface on either side to park your laptop and items. Also, a much faster trip through DXB T2 (the smallest terminal at DXB) and a dedicated business class boarding gate just adds to the convenience and speed for business commutes.

[@intruder1440]

a fact no one know : emirates is changing the configuration of one of its a380 where the lower deck is gonna be full economy, and the upper deck is going to be full premium economy (my dads an emirates engineer :)

My suggestion for Emirates: Retrofit all A380s with new first, business and premium economy seats. Convert the existing order of 787-9s to 25 777-9s and 10 777-8s. Place an order of 20 A350-1000 to top off the order of 50 A350-900.

[@fazalm8687]

Leeham blog says 787's are further delayed unto 2025. And we have a perfectly capable A330 - Neo that can fill in for most duties of the 787 (save for cargo pallets) not being ordered by any major airline save for Delta/Virgin and tourist Condor, mostly leisure duties. Seems like the A350 too won't make it in time by 2024. So 2025 for 3 Aircraft types to be received by EK? 777'x, A350, 787. Hope they can handle all that additional capacity with their other 777's & A380's.

People don’t realize that the A380 wasn’t that successful financially and that one Gulf airline alone bought most of the A380 in existence and the government controlled national flag carriers of Airbus countries each bought only a few. Few airlines outside of the Gulf carriers and Airbus flag carrier bought A380s and each only bought a few.

They are because they are a HUB airline with the infrastructure that can handle the plane. Most airports in the U.S can't even handle it. They are still going to start to retire them simple because they are expensive per mile to operate v. the 787,777x and other newer two engine plane.
