#5: Emirates optimizes DXB-KBL route capacity with new strategy

Using a 777, Emirates was able to alter its approach, allowing for an “easier climb gradient” and improving navigational accuracy. Early in 2019, Emirates announced that it had employed the technique successfully for three months, boosting capacity into Kabul during low-cloud conditions by 250 tonnes.
