Emirates, is a different best in almost every way to Norwegian. Emirates is very similar in concept to KLM, for example, serving many surprising markets by augmenting O&D demand with a huge number of connection possibilities. Of course Fokker 70's and E-190's aren't as glamorous as A380's! Does a 777-300 load of people want to fly from Newcastle to Duabi everyday? No. But enough want to go to Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia/NZ to make it work.
