Yea but I see it differently at PHL and MIA for QR than EK. QR and AA/US can offer codeshares and connections to the DOH flights where EK wouldn't be able to do that at all in PHL or MIA or in most other "smaller market" potential cities because they codeshare with much smaller airlines.
I'm not saying it can't work, but two large middle east airlines knocking on smaller markets makes me wonder if it'd really work.

As far as I know, PHL and MIA have been doing great for QR.
I wouldn't be shocked to see EK at either airports in the upcoming months or year.

Do you know rumors about DXB-EZE nonstop or DXB - SCL? I wait for this routes.

Any news or rumours what could be next?
Due to political (Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Iraq...) and health reason (Ebola) I think it's not so easy to predict and plan new routes as no one knows where this would supposed to end.
Any news about upcoming bilateral changes (e.g. Canada, China, India) so EK can add more flight/destinations?

There are a number of viable options to replace the routes recently cancelled.. Already a few new frequencies and up-gauges have been announced....
Also, MIA and HEL are closer to finally coming true within the next 6-9 months. Expanded bilateral agreements with Canada and India will as well open up more frequencies and up-gauges A380s.

I heard the flight EK 500/5001 DXB-BOM-DXB will switch from the A380 back to the 77W.
Strange move......

Could be a good choice for destinations like DAC, MNL, DEL, BOM, HYD and CGK....

Swapping AC makes sense if they can redeploy more efficiently and/or boost revenue. FCO is a good example.

There are also rumours that BOM will be served 5 daily with 77Ws instead (currently in a mix of A380, 772, 773, 77W)
There is plenty of demand between DXB and BOM with more demand out to GCC/US/EU/Levant/Africa, so that statement should be out of the way

How do you know MIA and HEL are close to coming true?

I'd really like to know how some of you know MIA is coming soon.
No disrespect. Just very curious. I hope you all are right.
