Both AUH and DXB have to deal with heavy fog in Jan/Feb and EY always seems to have more problems dealing with the repercussions of the diversions and delays.

Both have a fair amount of shiny veneer (in EK's case, literally!), but EY's tends to crack easier. Keep in mind that EY was only founded in 2003 (and EK in 1983).
