Just extend the route to CGK / SIN / KUL to DPS ?
Is there a reason for that these Emirati sheikhs do not do this ?
Yes, we have had many discussions on this topic given the commercial rationale. It is a matter of time.

What I learned from being here in the ME region, Indonesia (and Malaysia) is quite popular among GCC countries being a islamic country. Almost everyone I speak to at my Saudi client has been to both countries whereas for example Western visitors to Malaysia are much rarer .. I don't find a lot of Germans flying to there.
