Following routes displaying “cut-off” date in Winter 2013/14 schedule in the gDS, excluding daylight savings time roll-over, which suggests possible planned aircraft or schedule change takes place on the following day of specified dates.

Dubai – Vienna - 31JAN14 EK127/128 3-class Boeing 777-300ER with First Class Suite

* New cut-off date appeared in the GDS since last report.
In previous report, Airline Route only mentioned “possible planned aircraft change”, but did not mention other scenarios. In addition, Airline Route highlighted the “cut-off” date for following route in previous report, however there are no changes being implemented as of 22JAN13.
Dubai – Barcelona 3-class Boeing 777-300ER with First Class Suite continues operating on/after 01JAN14

Previously reported changes:
Dubai – Kuala Lumpur eff 01OCT13 EK346/347 38L replaces 38M (38M currently operates 5 times a week up to 31AUG13, daily from 01SEP13 to 30SEP13 only)
Dubai – London Gatwick eff 27OCT13 EK011/012 3-class Boeing 777-300ER with First Class Suite replace 3-class -300 (Note this flight in W12 occasionally switches to 77W)
Dubai – Singapore eff 01DEC13 EK354/355 38L replaces 38M
38L = A380, 489-seater
38M = A380, 517-seater
 
Ad ogni modo EK vola da FCO con il 380, che sommato al 777 fanno quasi 3 voli giornalieri. Considerando che fino a pochi anni fa c'era "mezzo" volo a settimana per Dubai, questi di oggi sono davvero numeri impressionanti!

mi verrebbe da dire che una bella fetta di pax, forse la piu importante, si sono semplicemente "spostati". Credo che la stragrande maggioranza dei pax mxp-dxb siano in connessione no? Senza nulla togliere agli emirati a livello di attrazione turistica ed interesse business, sicuramente in crescendo, magari i suddetti pax prima viaggiavano sul medio oriente e verso il sud est asiatico e l'oceania con altri vettori utilizzando come hub francoforte londra parigi o amsterdam oppure bangkok o honk kong, senza escludere gli operativi Az, mentre ora si è reso disponibile un servizio globalmente molto migliore e capillare che fa capo a dubai.

Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa si ottiene paragonando i dati dei pax milano/roma/venezia -> asia e pacifico del 1990 con gli stessi del 2011
