You mean state?

As a straightforward return flight or as an add-on or triangular route?

gpeso8

SUB would be nice......

iFlyMoreThanYou

Flights will start last week of March.

Triangular route through a neighbouring country that just had one of its multi sector flights cut.

Is this a quiz? If so, what is the prize?

Well BKK recently lost the Aus/NZ add on and SIN lost at least one Aus route. Yangon to Phnom Penh was also closed down last year so I'm not much further forward.

iFlyMoreThanYou

The country is a city too ( I think )

Faster pace of game changer F refits

Move more FZ ops to DWC permanently to alleviate DXB runway/ slots situation

Rearrange South America to:
4x weekly SCL tag to GIG
3x weekly LIM tag to GIG
4x weekly EZE tag to GRU
5x weekly GRU terminator

Introduce SUB which is way overdue, perhaps can start with 4x weekly

Introduce AGP, definitely not right for EK to only serve 2 Spanish destinations when it serves 2 Portuguese destinations

Introduce second daily to LAX with one stop somewhere in Europe and continue to allow Europe stopovers on cheap fares

Introduce JTR although this can be FZ, perhaps 4x weekly

Reduce some low yield CMB frequencies

Replace HEL and ALA FZ service with mainline EK service

Replace ATH-EWR with a third daily nonstop JFK

I think EK with AGP missed the boat.
Diificult for them now to fly a wide body in.

RAK as new dest would present an opportunity, however I understand political problems have gotten in way.

ElJudioErrante

So SIN(unlikely) or HKG then? MFM maybe? BWN?

DYKWIA

There are no refits planned as far as I am aware...

iFlyMoreThanYou

Really didnt mean for it to be so cryptic - it's SIN.

So, Penang via Singapore?

Don't know if it makes economical sense of those tag-on flights. Crew layover time and costs are very high in comparison to such low yield markets (e.g. South America) with only a few weekly frequencies and small aircraft (e.g. B77L). Don't know if EK has 5th freedom rights and how the yields on such tag on flights are.

On the other side ATH-EWR seems to be a very good route. A lot of Greeks in the US without any proper connection since Olympic insolvency. DL and UA only operate seasonal flights.

DXB-Europe-LAX with cheap fares? What sense does it make for EK as they won't earn anything and there are a lot of nonstop flights Europe-LAX.

In general I would prefer EK offering nonstop flights with in a range up to 15-18 hours and less tag-on flights.

In case a certain destination cannot be covered by EK, a proper Code Share with a regional airline has to be established with EK offering flights to their hub (e.g. DXB-GRU or DXB-BOG with onward connection with Avianca or Gol to destination like Quito, LIM, SCL).
