Emirates reduces DAR and increases MNL

Emirates has officially confirmed that due to network demand requirements, it will be implementing the below mentioned changes:

DAR - frequencies reduced from double daily B773s to a daily nonstop service only effective 15DEC

MNL - frequencies increased from double daily to 18 weekly with all flights exclusively being operated by the B777-300ER (B77W) effective 29MAR

It is highly surprising that a route such as Addis Ababa with its massive labor market demand to GCC has yet to warrant double daily A332 operated service by EK where as ET currently operate 18 weekly flights DXB-ADD !
