I've been flying EK for a while on LHR-DXB-DEL and wondered if they had every applied / been involved with OW ? They are certainly of high enough standard & don't clash geographically with anyone esle.

Of course were they to join it would add an interesting twist to OWE flights - LHR via DXB to PER would be two continents not three, so it would be possible to a OWE 3 continents via Aus !!
