It does seem to be high.
But I would guess Emirates, in addition to routes to London, NYC, etc.,
may also handle plenty of routes to the east, such as to other Muslim
countries like Indonesia, etc.

And Emirates may become a bigger player in the yearly near-mass exodus
from many Arabic countries when the summer heat becomes unbearable.
That would probably require quite a bit of capacity.

They are looking at being the hub of a hub and spoke system.

A380s will allow them to move people around the Far East/Australia and onwards to Europe.

As an example both BA and QANTAS make stops (I believe in Singapore) from Oz ->Europe. I suspect Emirates wants to get in on some of that action.
