Indirectly, or directly, AC has evidently decided they're willing to compete with EK/EY by starting their own flights to DEL and DXB. Furthermore, if that rhetoric is to be used, it wouldn't make sense for AC to undertake the risk of opening new routes, if they know they wouldn't be able to withstand current, and/or possible future competition.
