So they're finally ditching 2-3-2 in J?

What is the flying time for this flight?

I guess they could try the old 'double stop' Venezuela and Peru? But I doubt it.

For sure he is, but I think QR was planning to do the flight non-stop, so if QR decides to start they will have the edge, but if the market is good we might see EK trying to do it non-stop in the future, however it will be a really long flight.geoshina wrote:I think this 772 will have the same new J seats, but in a 2-2-2 config.
I am really curious about this new product and configuration, because I don't understand how is EK going to configure the plane.

Emirates later announced that they will reconfigure its 10 B77L with 2-2-2 business class seating. I will get you the source.

EK will struggle to crew this flight if things continue this way. Pilot numbers down from approx 4500 to below 4100 now.

This will probably help to increase the amount of asian tourits, too.
Havent had the time to check, but are connecting times to mains asian airports good?
