So we can assume that A6-EDQ AND A6-EDT are out for wing repair. Does anybody know the 2 other frames? Those are the only ones at the moment

BREAKING NEWS EVERYONE!
Strong rumors have been appeared in Dubai that Emirates airline are investigation to start a 6 daily flight to LHR by end of this year.
For the Paris Air Show, they are planning to order more aircraft's. Perhaps the A380/777???
NEW A380 routes; Birmingham UK, Los Angles USA and a second daily flight to Manchester UK
I seriously don't get it? With so many A380's they have ordered already, EVEN though IF they do order more where will they be flying these Whales? I would be surprise if they ordered more A380's at the Paris Air Show...

I rarely doubt they will order any in Paris. Why doing this and you have Dubai air show in Nov? If any my bet it will be then not Paris.

The least bit shocking if you ask me, lol. Tim Clark has always stated his intentions to order another 30 Whalejets and that he hopes to have 7 daily A380s to LHR eventually. But I agree with you on the "I don't get it" part.
