Look at the big picture, DXB, or even better DWC will be the busiest airport in the world very soon. If I were an airline executive I would make sure my metal is flying to that airport no matter what.
Arguably it's only the busiest airport due to the weight of connecting traffic - actual O&D demand into DXB doesn't I think show the same growth rates as EKs connecting traffic growth.

What might be interesting is if an alliance flew into DXB on one side and another partner flew out on the other
