Indeed, looks to me they are competing with AB and DE in order to fill the Aidas ex Dubai.
Like NewbieRunner mentioned in one of the best contributions to this thread so far, it looks like a proper offer for tour operators and package holidays.
I love to give the Neksayers the benefit of the doubt, but comparing a hub and spoke operation like DXB-XXX with 90% connecting traffic and P2P flights mainly catering to tourists is like, well, mmmhhh, comparing LH F and LH NEK or Capitalism and Socialism, real Bio milk and milk powder
