I believe Emirates do not get their accounts signed off from an external auditor and there is an almost implied government subsidy there.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emirates as of 31 March 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Measured in terms of overall pax numbers or load factor or profitability? I guess load factor.

1. BKK, agreed
2. DEL
3. HYD
4. MAA
5. LHR
6. JFK
7. BHX
8. SYD
9. AKL
10. LOS

LGW & MAN both have 3 x A380 per day. And generally pretty full (at the moment!).

You should probably check your beliefs for the presence of other "alternate facts".

Still not very good though. Just flown on EK 18 and it was half empty in economy (I had to change my flight at short notice from Tuesday to Thurday and despite having booked two mo ths ago there was very little fare difference - i had hoped that there would have been only flex tickets available). Similarly apparently there are 100 economy seats on my next flight EK 761 to Joburg.
