Gauntlet dropped: EK to launch DXB-EWR, eff. 1JUN18 (daily 77W)

all credit to airlineroute for the news. the EWR-ATH flight will also remain.

most of us are aware of the size of the indian community in northern NJ. EK’s ability to connect indian cities (both large and small) to EWR certainly has the potential to affect UA’s india service - and more.

UA (or a union of UA employees) organized protests for EK’s inaugural EWR-ATH; this is much more significant. hooray for competition!
