Am still curious as to the thoughts this latest EK expansion will have on IAG? Will it have much effect than it has already on BA's traffic from India and China and SE Asia traffic to LON and North America I wonder?

EK seem to be the ultimate fragmenter of the traditional hub-hub traffic model for long-haul. As well as having a fleet of some 150 777, 90 A380 (when these are all delivered) they also have 70 A350 on order too. Plus a load of A330s they already have.

Impressive stuff - interesting times for IAG maybe...
