So particularly in destinations which sees 1 or max 2. flights per day, say DME, nothing is easier to approach a service company for which you pay x number of cars for EK's premium cabin customers, right?
Well, at least in DXB they are all Emirates branded cars, so are used exclusively by EK. Whether the service is provided by EK or not, whoever is operating it for them has greater efficiency doing it in DXB vs. anywhere else. What's the argument for using premium cars working out too expensive in DXB?
