Emirates' growth the past several years has been explosive,in specific in the US. They've added service to many recent destinations, including Boston, or Chicago,Orlando, Seattle, or more. On top of that they've added additional frequencies on US routes,and in many cases upgraded routes from 777s to A380s. Emirates might have 99 problems, but too tiny capacity on US routes ain't one of them. ;)There has been no sign of the growth stopping, or despite the fact that many of their existing US A380 routes are far from consistently full. Nonetheless we haven't seen any planes downgraded from A380s to 777s,and we also haven't seen any routes be cut.
Well, for the first time it looks like Emirates will be downgrading the aircraft operating a US route.
As of July 1, and 2016,Emirates will be downgrading the Dubai to Houston route from an Airbus A380 to a Boeing 777-300ER.
