Emirates increases Guangzhou and Manchester capacity

Emirates has officially announced that it will be significantly increasing its capacity on both its Manchester and Guangzhou routes effective 01OCT16 onwards in the following manner:

CAN - capacity increased from daily B77W to daily A380 effective 01OCT16

MAN - capacity increased to an exclusive triple daily A380 service effective 01JAN17

Comments:

The capacity increase to CAN would enable EK to compete more effectively versus the low price tag of ET/KQ on the West/East Africa-CAN segment where demand is high but ultra price sensitive.
