Emirates is reducing the number of aircraft in its fleet due to various factors like lower demand, pilot walkouts, weak loads etc.
The airline is facing dip in demand, but they are also facing severe pilot shortage as it was reported in media that pilots are leaving the airline in the hundreds.
Media reports suggest that Emirates will be parking 46 planes over the coming months:
Emirates will park 11 Boeing 777s and 1 Airbus A380 this in April
Emirates will park 14 Boeing 777s and 6 Airbus A380s in May
Emirates will park 11 Boeing 777s and 3 Airbus A380s in June
Despite of this, Emirates still has an order for 59 A380s, 12 Boeing 777-300ERs and 150 777Xs (both -8 and -9).
