787-10 is just a bit smaller and less capable than the 777-8... maybe that is why.
this could be no more than a rationalization of the capacity of the airline, not some knee-jerk reaction to the 737max mess. :Unless they order an equivalent number of 350-10's... we shall see.....
This decision is nothing to do with the 737Max. Emirates doesn't fly any 737 variant and has none on order.
Two Max 8's plummeting to earth killing in excess of 340 people??? And then we found out recently that Boeing was aware of the MCAS malfunction in 2017??? Hardly knee jerk.
