There seems to be a distinct increase in the number of parked EK A380s. Is it a consequence of the corona virus outbreak ?

I do think so....many flights to BJS, CAN, HKG or PVG have been cancelled or downgraded to B77W.
But low demand seems to be a reason as well, flights to SYD, BOS or KUL for example, also changed from A380 to B77W.

Storing aircraft is consistent.

I think the biggest drain on demand at Emirates, will be the corona virus and therefore the China situation. Similar to quite a few of other airlines.
