Any aviation nerds able to tell us why emirates don’t use an A380 on their DBX to RUH Mon morning/ Thurs evening flights?

This is either wrong information or a recent change linked to one terminal being refurbished . RUH was A380 fitted before covid and EK regularly sent the A380 on Wednesday evening flights

RUH isn’t fitted for A380s

That's not it, Emirates flew at least 2 A380s a day to RUH pre-covid. That being said, my suspicion is that demand hasn't returned to pre-covid levels to justify A380s

Security reasons

DXB - RUH is apparently one of the busiest international routes so operating A380 makes total sense. My only guess is that the Riyadh airport may not be optimally fitted for such double deckers but then EK flies A380 to Jeddah regularly with a much worse airport, so this theory may not hold true.

Long answer to say “I don’t know!” 😂

Hi all,

My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
