Confirmation that Emirates has retired its last Airbus A330 to leave it with an exclusively Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 fleet means that it will be flying seven short-haul routes from its hub of less than 1,000km distance using two of the biggest widebodies on the market.

EK is one of the successful airline and I'm sure they will have reasons to operate widebody aircraft on short haul but I'm curious to know the reason.

Originally posted by banuthev View PostWhy does Emirates is not interested in operating narrowbody aircraft on short haul routes? Example : Isn't that better idea to operate to 7 or 8 daily onboard narrowbody aircraft instead of three daily flights onboard widebody aircraft for their short haul routes. More flight frequency gives more flexibility to passengers.

No building going on at Dubai World (one runway built out of 6).
Dubai's Debt to GDP was 132% earlier this year - they're in serious trouble.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

‘Ghost’ Airbus A350 sighting unnerves aviation industry
http://www.thenational.ae/business/a...ation-industry
SriLankan Airlines shouldn't have ordered the A350 in the first place. The A330 is the best widebody for SriLankan's long-haul flights.
Any idea who is going to take this plane?
