Is that Emirates scaling back their fleet size or merely changing their schedule for predicted demand?.

I'd be pretty surprised if Thailand fully opens to farang by Sept, the way they're going , Emirates would do well to fill one 380 let alone 4.

Great info Brown, thanks for the heads up.

There was an Emirates flight left Bangkok last night for Dubai.

Arrived in Bangkok empty and was full on its way to Dubai.

Looks like Emirates are starting to bring the  A380's back into service...

A lot of Boeing fanboys were hoping the A380 was killed off by Coronavirus...... Emirates obviously are proving them wrong.

Coronavirus has killed off BA and Virgins 747's

I agree a flight into Thailand for all but Thais and maybe those with wives here and work permits is unlikely, they seem more intent on getting foreigners who have been stuck here out by then.

Yep, sadly the 747 is becoming a rare sight over UK skies. I think everyone knew her days were numbered, but C-19 has really done for it. Are other ME carriers bringing their 380's back into service or is it just Emirates?.

With the Philippines now slowly reopening, hopefully the demand for the LHR- DXB - MNL route will begin to increase as well, time will tell of course, but running an empty 380 to BKK seems to be madness.

I believe Qatar will be keeping theirs mothballed but there are plans to bring them back,
