Dreaming the impossible dream...
If this really is a wish list...
DXB - LBA A380 comes back to NRT Chauffeur service at NRT Emirates doesn't cut tier miles on most Y tickets later this year. Back in the real world more chance of porkers aviating to LBA than EK, and the rest equally likely ... I'll just dream on. |

Isn't there a ban of widebodies at KTM?

Only because of runway cracks. It may have already been lifted. If not, then I expect it will be soon.

Per ch-aviation:
EK already codeshare with TP so it may not be far-fetched for LIS-GIG. Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) would develop Spain into its Latin American hub should bilateral talks between the United Arab Emirates and Spain give it the opportunity to do so. Airline country general manager, Fernando Suárez de Góngora, told tourism portal Preferente that the proposal would make sense and has strong potential. "Although there is a lot of supply, I don't believe the market has yet been saturated. While we are waiting for our respective governments to finalize the bilateral agreements, the fact of the matter is, we see very strong potential here," he said referencing the possibility of Emirates securing 5th Freedom flights. The airline has already commenced Milan Malpensa to New York JFK services with other potential transatlantic flights said to include: Dubai Int'l to Buenos Aires Ezeiza via Madrid Barajas and Dubai to Rio de Janeiro Int'l via Lisbon. South America is fast becoming a focal point for the Gulf region's three biggest carriers: Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways (QR, Doha Int'l). Local rival Etihad Airways (EY, Abu Dhabi Int'l) has already alluded to plans to establish partnerships with South American carriers in a bid to secure a foothold on the continent. Whether this will involve the acquisition of any equity stakes is currently unknown. Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Atatürk) has already begun its search for its own South American hub with Montevideo and Santo Domingo Las Américas having been considered thus far. |
A sign that ATL is next on EK's hit list??? :D
Emirates SkyCargo to launch freighter flights to Atlanta By Kelly Yamanouchi The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Emirates SkyCargo will launch service to Atlanta, with weekly freighter flights starting April 6, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport officials announced Thursday. Emirates will be the 11th cargo carrier to serve Atlanta. The service on Boeing 777 cargo aircraft between Atlanta and Dubai is expected to generate $6 million in economic impact annually in metro Atlanta, airport officials said. Cargo flights strengthen trade and help create jobs throughout the region, according to the Metro Atlanta Chamber. ....... http://www.ajc.com/news/business/emi...ts-to-a/nfMd8/ |
Anyone have ideas of CANADA / UAE are going to have further talks on expansion of rights? Wife starting new job and will take her to Dubai from YYZ one week every month starting in September.

I wish EK would start JVI-DXB with an A380 :D... eh maybe EWR works too.

Folks on airliners.net say DFW will get an EK A380. As an announcement is to be set soon If true, Emirates will have an available 777-200LR. I guess this might give MIA the green light.

MIA will need at least 1.5 77Ls in the rotation.
A 77L off DFWDXB means EK will have the additional 77L frames to add an ULH rotation to Miami, Atlanta, Sydney or wherever else it would like. |

Are you implying DFWDXB (a longer route) needs less frames than MIADXB?

If EK wanted to start an additional ULH route with 77L equipment, I would not need to wait for that equipment to come off the DFW route. It could just take it off the SEZ, LYS or HND routes. |
Was referring to the 77L DFW airframe. I don't think a single 77L is enough for a MIA service a lone.
