l'economy di ek sta diventando toppo economy, ma i prezzi sono sempre tra i migliori. Non credo nell'eventuale introduzione di una Y+, considera che in molte tratte verso oriente hanno solo 2 classi. Il loro obiettivo e' caricare quanta piu' gente possibile. Voli verso l'india o il Bangladesh sono particolarmente price sensitive e non credo che ci sia tutta questa esigenza per una nuova classe economy
Emirates : dal 2016 gli 8 voli giornalieri su Londra tutti operati con 380
- Autore Discussione kenyaprince
- Data d'inizio
Cosi su due piedi: SEA, MCO, IAD e BOS sono operate con 77.
Non capisco bene cosa intendi per troppo economy, ma trovo i voli con POS USA in economy mediamente piu' costosi di quelli di altre FSC.
Etihad ha deciso di mettere il 380 anche sul terzo volo giornaliero. Di fatto operera' all-380 anche lei.

A questo punto EY ha esaurito i suoi slot a LHR utilizzandoli con la capacità massima, se vorrà ulteriormente espandersi su Londra, è facile che inizierà a utilizzare i 5 slot di LHR che ha comprato e riaffittato da Alitalia. E per ogni nuovo volo in piu' di EY, AZ dovrà ridurne uno dei suoi su LHR.
Gli effetti del 380 si sono visti sia per i voli su DOH che AUH.
La LHR-DOH ha visto a luglio 106.915 pax, in aumento del 33%, mentre la LHR-AUH 83.249 pax, in aumento del 52% rispetto a luglio 2014.
La DXB aumenta, anche se solo del 4%, portandosi a 221.954 pax trasportati.
Simpatico notare come la notizia del terzo 380 di Etihad su LHR sia diventata una notizia potenzialmente 'negativa' per AZ.
Un po contorto come ragionamento
Fa impressione leggere che il LHR-DXB ha avuto piu' passeggeri di una grande quantita' di aeroporti europei.
There’s time enough to take off from the Gulf, eat three lunches, cross nine time zones, read an improving novel and still have a solid eight hours sleep before touching down beside the Pacific. When passengers emerge blearily from the aircraft, they will have been on board for almost 18 hours.
From 1 February next year, Emirates will connect its hub in Dubai with Panama City on the world’s longest commercial non-stop flight. These two cities are 8,600 miles apart, though diversions to avoid conflict zones in Iraq and Syria will increase the distance flown.
The Boeing 777 will fly the length of the Mediterranean, then cross Spain and Portugal to reach the Atlantic – by which time it will not be even halfway through its flight. After the long ocean crossing, the twin-jet will pass over Puerto Rico, and about 90 minutes later it will land at 4.40pm local time – in good time for a sundown cocktail overlooking the Pacific. But back in Dubai, where the flight began, it will be close to 2am the following day.
Emirates’ chief executive, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said: “Panama City will be our first destination gateway in Central America, providing a convenient option for our passengers travelling from or through our global hub in Dubai.”

Last week, British Airways announced a new non-stop flight from Gatwick to San José, capital of neighbouring Costa Rica, though it is only 5,419 miles. BA’s longest route is the 6,906 hop from Heathrow to Buenos Aires.
Emirates is expecting to take premium traffic from other airlines such as KLM and United, which currently link the two cities with connecting flights. The aviation analyst John Strickland said: “On ultra-long-haul flights, aircraft have to burn fuel to carry fuel, so airlines have to be careful in their selection of such routes and be confident they will get sufficient higher-fare business customers.” The personnel costs are also high, with four pilots and 14 cabin crew required for the trip.
The first-class return fare for Emirates’ launch flight is £6,762, five times the cheapest economy ticket.

Some travel industry figures have already questioned the appeal of the Emirates flight. Lyn Hughes, editor-in-chief of Wanderlust magazine, said: “I do wonder if people will go a bit cabin-crazy with that length of uninterrupted flight. Even though changing planes can be a bore, it’s a change of scene and chance to walk and stretch.”

EMIRATES DUBAI-PANAMA ROUTE TO FLY 17.5 HOURS NON-STOP
The world’s longest flight now is a Qantas service from Dallas to Sydney that is only a few miles shorter than the Dubai-Panama link. An even longer flight, from New York to Singapore, ended in 2013 when high fuel prices made Singapore Airlines’ business-class only service unviable.
With much lower oil prices, carriers are again contemplating very long flights, raising the prospect of an express UK-Australia link. In 1989 Qantas flew a Boeing 747 non-stop from Heathrow to Sydney in 20 hours, but with no paying passengers on board. Since then aircraft technology has improved dramatically.

Virgin Atlantic’s new Boeing 787-9 is capable of flying 9,000 miles non-stop from London to Perth with a full load of passengers. It would cover the ground in about 17 hours, shaving two hours off the current fastest flight on Qatar Airways via Doha.
Neither Virgin Atlantic nor British Airways has plans for such a flight at present. But Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet travel guides and a frequent commuter between the UK and Australia said: “It’s only a short extra stretch compared with Dubai-Panama City. What’s an extra hour to link London and Perth?”
Up in the air: The longest flights
Until February, Qantas holds the record for the longest flight, with its 8,580-mile marathon from Dallas Fort Worth to Sydney. It is narrowly ahead of Delta’s Johannesburg-Atlanta link, at 8,440 miles. The remaining three all connect the Gulf with Los Angeles, and are very similar in length at around 8.350 miles: Etihad from Abu Dhabi, Emirates from neighbouring Dubai and Saudia from Jeddah.
The longest non-stop flight from the UK is the daily British Airways link from Heathrow to Buenos Aires, clocking up 6,906 miles in 13 hours, 50 minutes. The Singapore-Heathrow flight on BA and Singapore Airlines is the second longest in mileage, at 6,744. Because of the prevailing winds, it takes 14 hours when flying west - making it the longest in terms of time.
Air New Zealand has long held the title of longest direct, same-plane flight from Britain for its daily Heathrow-Auckland service, covering 11,390 miles, but the Boeing 777 route stops en route in Los Angeles.

Tolti di mezzo tutti i player, EK sta facendo concorrenza a se stessa (cit.)
EK, giorno dopo giorno, sta conquistando il mercato verso Asia. Qatar e EY stanno cercando di fare concorrenza, ma EK offre, soprattutto in Y, prezzi migliori e scali di minor durato (avendo normalmente piú voli giornalieri verso l' Asia). Senza considerare che molte destinazioni sono servite dall' A380, differenza non da poco ( e saranno sempre di piú nei prossimi mesi/anni).
Emirates aumenta i voli per Londra Heathrow da 5 a 6 daily tutti operati con A380. Considerati anche i 3 daily su LGW, in tutto opereranno su Londra con 9 daily tutti A380.
