Emirates



Emirates
has officially confirmed that effective June 1st 2009, it will be increasing capacity to YYZ-Toronto by replacing the 3 weekly Boeing 777-300ER operated flights with the larger Airbus A 380. The super jumbo will come from the JFK route which is been downgraded due to low loads on the A 380 operated flights. As a result, DXB-JFK from June will become a double daily B 773ER service. On the other days of the week when YYZ wont see the A 380, it will be used on nonstop flights to Bangkok.


Emirates has officially confirmed that it will be increasing flights to DMM-Dammam, Saudi Arabia from May 2009 from 5 weekly flights to daily. On the DXB-DMM route, EK will be using a B 773A once a week + an A 332 six times a week. EK has also confirmed that its reduction of Beijing and Shanghai flights from double daily to 12 times per week each to both destinations is a permament fixture and not a temporary one as it is also reflecting in the GDS system for the Winter 09-10 season.

This means that Air Canada will suffer big time cause the connections from london LHR will be now redirected on YYZ DXB routing. it is about time Air Canada start flying direct to |Delhi or else Emirates will gobble Air Canada's lucrative routes eventually.
