A few weeks ago, Emirates announced plans to operate its newest aircraft type to the Americas for the first time. There’s now an update, as this service has been moved forward by a few weeks, thanks to the earlier delivery of more of these jets.

I hope Emirates will start flying to Detroit and Philadelphia with the A350-900s. I don't understand why Emirates and Qatar Airways don't serve Detroit.
Pitiful. Emirates is renowned for (and successful because of) the Airbus A380-800.
I'mm'a huge fan of the a380, but, let's be clear: a350 is a beautiful aircraft, regardless. This is more indicative of Boeing's failures with the excessive delays of the 777X than anything else.
Maybe they will, eventually. Probably should ask @Tim Dunn why they haven't, because DAL is so dominant at DTW, that they're probably part of the reason why EK (a UA codeshare partner) hasn't pulled it off there, yet. You're right to think of the large Arab-American diaspora there as wanting the service. At least ORD and YYZ is somewhat nearby, but, yeah, they'd have to connect.
If the passenger load doesn't justify the capacity of the A380, it would seem economically impractical to operate it on the route.
@1990 believes himself a chat room moderator, even to the point of responding to themself. Yeah it’s fishy, rots from the head down. Bah!
“I'mm'a huge fan of the a380, but, let's be clear: a350 is a beautiful aircraft, regardless”.
Exactly the same words used by @Ben, elsewhere 1990. Slip of the typing finger 1990/Ben?
It really is time to stop pretending now, yes?
Perhaps the charade has gone on long enough, yes?
Where it anyone else then they would have been banned by now, yes?
I know, I’ve been warned!
The EK, F cabin in the A380, is a mighty fine canter.
The A350 aircraft is a mighty fine gallop, in EK hands it should prove be a better ride than any of the dead donkey’s flying around by the U.S. carriers, yes?
