[QUOTE=Cyba;21575502]Hmmm. The article below suggests there's a possibility but SIN, BKK and parts of Japan (presumably KIX or NGO) are options in Asia. No mention of HKG though they usually have an open skies mentality. If EK connect the US to Asia then they are also connecting US to Australia. Interesting!!

IF EK Were to do aDXB to HKG,BKK, or NRT to JFK aka (USA) that would pose a serious threat to UA United as they are so dominant player in that route. UA justs about owns a terminal @ NRT.. and if BKK to JFK,, TG use to do this and I took flight often, but hated the A340-500 plane.. it was a long 17+ hr long flight. TG is no longer flying the A340-500 now so no JFK or LAX Direct from BKK. This would be a great entrance to USA via Asia for EK and battle with UA would begin in service and pricing..
