Yes.. and also the Libyan (Arab) airlines. However they have no O&D capabilities like EK. There are loads of high yield expats (who are on lucrative contracts at remote oil wells, having J/F perks) who travel by EK (to connect to Europe! though its just a hop away). Thats mostly because of lack of F product on other carriers. Y is full of Filipinos and pax from sub-continent. Its very hard to get op-upd on this route. EK is flying A340-500 these days.

This is just my observation. Who knows how the actual math would look..
