I don't believe the overall numbers will change - the route analysis appears to be independently collated, but I don't know if both sides are cross-checked or if it is just driven from one side of the sector

My thinking was say it changes to cover all bases, just incase somebody looks later and sees a different number, but yes I agree it probably wont.

Dubai must be close to either an upgauge (nothing official as yet regards A380) or the second flight coming back as it’s averaging 331 pax each way and the overall numbers look to be about 1/2 the pre-pandemic numbers when we had 2 flights per day.

Also some of the other numbers look good when compared to an other nearby airport which has greater frequency / capacity on some of those routes.

Re Dubai. I think the issue may be the cargo side of things. I'm no expert but I think it's been mentioned before the A380 carries far less cargo than the 77W? Possibly the A380 may come back for peak travel season to Australia over our autumn/winter.

According to terminal staff in the airport it’s crew related issues in Dubai, a A380 uses more crew so would stretch them even thinner.
