Sorry for error - my transit I had to go through immigration lines a while ago.
In any case their chance to grow that exEU is gone over the past 20 yrs and now the ME3 are the choice 1 stop for both EU and US travelers
TK is trying to grow that as well ex EU as is Ethiopian.
To change service culture to what AI was 40 yrs will take a while.
