A key factor is whether a new entrant is offering a lo-co style point to point product or an entree to a new hub with many onward connections. Thus anything which might limit the daily frequency on EK could disadvantage some of the huge number of people making onward connections whilst positively impacting only those flying to the single new destination.
In this respect CX would be good competition because they offer not just a way of getting to HKG, but many onward connections in Asia and Australasia.
BKK is a classic example of this. TG would be great, but someone like Nokscoot, or even TCX, not so much.
