So one of the major airlines from the Middle East would be great.
For example Emirates, Gulf air, or Qatar Airways.
All those airlines are quality, full service carriers with good coverage of the region in terms of destinations.
It would be a good complement to the current network.
I guess *A coverage in South and Central America is not good enough. Unfortunately, the potential candidates to fulfill that gap (TACA, AV, COPA) are limited and closer to ST.
